influence in mobile game engagement, focusing on how peer behavior, social norms, and social comparison processes shape player motivations and in-game actions. By drawing on social psychology and network theory, the paper investigates how players' social circles, including friends, family, and online communities, influence their gaming habits, preferences, and spending behavior. The research explores how mobile games leverage social influence through features such as social media integration, leaderboards, and team-based gameplay. The study also examines the ethical implications of using social influence techniques in game design, particularly regarding manipulation, peer pressure, and the potential for social exclusion.</p> <a href="https://blog-258114448607.mit-edu.top/post/8591074362" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/20.jpg" alt="Latency Reduction Techniques for Real-Time Mobile Multiplayer Games" title="Latency Reduction Techniques for Real-Time Mobile Multiplayer Games" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Susan Thomas</strong> <span>2025-02-02 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-258114448607.mit-edu.top/post/6735120984"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/5.jpg" alt="Decentralized Governance Models for Community-Led Game Development Ecosystems" title="Decentralized Governance Models for Community-Led Game Development Ecosystems" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6735120984.mit-edu.top/post/6735120984/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-02</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-258114448607.mit-edu.top/post/6735120984">Decentralized Governance Models for Community-Led Game Development Ecosystems</a></h2> <p class="info">The social fabric of gaming is woven through online multiplayer experiences, where players collaborate, compete, and form lasting friendships in virtual realms.
