  221.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the globalization of mobile gaming, focusing on the cultural, economic, and technological dimensions of the mobile game industry. It examines how mobile games transcend national borders, shaping global entertainment trends, cultural exchanges, and consumption patterns. The study analyzes the role of international distribution platforms, such as app stores and online marketplaces, in facilitating cross-border gaming experiences, while also considering the impact of localization strategies on cultural representation and game design. Furthermore, the research investigates the economic implications of mobile game globalization, including market entry strategies, pricing models, and the influence of local regulations.</p>
