digital addiction, specifically focusing on the psychological and social impacts of excessive mobile game usage. The research examines how mobile gaming, particularly in free-to-play models, contributes to behavioral addiction, exploring how reward loops, social pressure, and the desire for progression can lead to compulsive gaming behavior. Drawing on psychological theories of addiction, habit formation, and reward systems, the study analyzes the mental health consequences of excessive gaming, such as sleep disruption, anxiety, and social isolation. The paper also evaluates preventive and intervention strategies, including digital well-being tools and game design modifications, to mitigate the risk of addiction.</p> <a href="https://blog-502789217563.mit-edu.top/post/9856304127" 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="Predicting Player Turnover in Mobile Multiplayer Games Using Survival Models" title="Predicting Player Turnover in Mobile Multiplayer Games Using Survival Models" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Michael Davis</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-502789217563.mit-edu.top/post/5872643109"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/1.jpg" alt="Using Holographic Displays for Mobile Game Prototyping" title="Using Holographic Displays for Mobile Game Prototyping" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-5872643109.mit-edu.top/post/5872643109/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-02</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-502789217563.mit-edu.top/post/5872643109">Using Holographic Displays for Mobile Game Prototyping</a></h2> <p class="info">The allure of virtual worlds is undeniably powerful, drawing players into immersive realms where they can become anything from heroic warriors wielding enchanted swords to cunning strategists orchestrating grand schemes of conquest and diplomacy.
