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-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/5391248670" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/5.jpg" alt="The Impact of Dynamic Discounting on Player Purchase Behavior" title="The Impact of Dynamic Discounting on Player Purchase Behavior" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Laura Bell</strong> <span>2025-02-09 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-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/5402863719"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/20.jpg" alt="The Dark Side of Gamification: Examining Exploitative Design in Mobile Game Monetization" title="The Dark Side of Gamification: Examining Exploitative Design in Mobile Game Monetization" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-5402863719.mit-edu.top/post/5402863719/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-09</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/5402863719">The Dark Side of Gamification: Examining Exploitative Design in Mobile Game Monetization</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper examines the psychological factors that drive player motivation in mobile games, focusing on how developers can optimize game design to enhance player engagement and ensure long-term retention. The study investigates key motivational theories, such as Self-Determination Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, to explore how intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness, influence player behavior. Drawing on empirical studies and player data, the research analyzes how different game mechanics, such as rewards, achievements, and social interaction, shape players’ emotional investment and commitment to games. The paper also discusses the role of narrative, social comparison, and competition in sustaining player motivation over time.</p> <a href="https://blog-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/5402863719" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/16.jpg" alt="The Dark Side of Gamification: Examining Exploitative Design in Mobile Game Monetization" title="The Dark Side of Gamification: Examining Exploitative Design in Mobile Game Monetization" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Mary Johnson</strong> <span>2025-02-09 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-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/1042796358"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/17.jpg" alt="Continuous Learning Mechanisms for AI Evolution in Procedural Game Worlds" title="Continuous Learning Mechanisms for AI Evolution in Procedural Game Worlds" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1042796358.mit-edu.top/post/1042796358/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-09</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-314279751736.mit-edu.top/post/1042796358">Continuous Learning Mechanisms for AI Evolution in Procedural Game Worlds</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper investigates the role of user-generated content (UGC) in mobile gaming, focusing on how players contribute to game design, content creation, and community-driven innovation.
