social influence in mobile games, focusing on how social networks, peer pressure, and social comparison affect player behavior and in-game purchasing decisions. The study examines how features such as leaderboards, friend lists, and social sharing options influence players’ motivations to engage with the game and spend money on in-game items. Drawing on social psychology and behavioral economics, the research explores how players' decisions are shaped by their interactions with others in the game environment. The paper also discusses the ethical implications of using social influence to drive in-game purchases, particularly in relation to vulnerable players and addiction risk.</p> <a href="https://blog-300363045575.mit-edu.top/post/0614872935" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/19.jpg" alt="Predictive Analytics in Game Marketing: Forecasting Trends with Big Data" title="Predictive Analytics in Game Marketing: Forecasting Trends with Big Data" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Thomas Clark</strong> <span>2025-02-04 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-300363045575.mit-edu.top/post/6509378214"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/4.jpg" alt="The Role of Synthetic Data in Training AI for Mobile Games" title="The Role of Synthetic Data in Training AI for Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6509378214.mit-edu.top/post/6509378214/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-04</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-300363045575.mit-edu.top/post/6509378214">The Role of Synthetic Data in Training AI for Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This study examines how mobile games can contribute to the development of smart cities, focusing on the integration of gaming technologies with urban planning, sustainability initiatives, and civic engagement efforts.
