theories to the analysis of in-game purchasing behavior in mobile games, exploring how psychological factors such as loss aversion, framing effects, and the endowment effect influence players' spending decisions. The study investigates the role of game design in encouraging or discouraging spending behavior, particularly within free-to-play models that rely on microtransactions. The paper examines how developers use pricing strategies, scarcity mechanisms, and rewards to motivate players to make purchases, and how these strategies impact player satisfaction, long-term retention, and overall game profitability. The research also considers the ethical concerns associated with in-game purchases, particularly in relation to vulnerable players.</p> <a href="https://blog-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/9185402736" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/7.jpg" alt="Designing Stable Economic Systems in Massively Multiplayer Mobile Games" title="Designing Stable Economic Systems in Massively Multiplayer Mobile Games" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Edward Roberts</strong> <span>2025-02-06 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-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/1930765842"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/13.jpg" alt="Real-Time AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient Game AI" title="Real-Time AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient Game AI" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1930765842.mit-edu.top/post/1930765842/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/1930765842">Real-Time AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient Game AI</a></h2> <p class="info">This study examines the impact of cognitive load on player performance and enjoyment in mobile games, particularly those with complex gameplay mechanics. The research investigates how different levels of complexity, such as multitasking, resource management, and strategic decision-making, influence players' cognitive processes and emotional responses. Drawing on cognitive load theory and flow theory, the paper explores how game designers can optimize the balance between challenge and skill to enhance player engagement and enjoyment. The study also evaluates how players' cognitive load varies with game genre, such as puzzle games, action games, and role-playing games, providing recommendations for designing games that promote optimal cognitive engagement.</p> <a href="https://blog-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/1930765842" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/13.jpg" alt="Real-Time AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient Game AI" title="Real-Time AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient Game AI" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Sharon Cox</strong> <span>2025-02-06 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-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/6785092143"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/18.jpg" alt="Ambient Intelligence in Game Ecosystems: A Vision for the Future" title="Ambient Intelligence in Game Ecosystems: A Vision for the Future" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6785092143.mit-edu.top/post/6785092143/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-972493377434.mit-edu.top/post/6785092143">Ambient Intelligence in Game Ecosystems: A Vision for the Future</a></h2> <p class="info">This research investigates how mobile gaming influences cognitive skills such as problem-solving, attention span, and spatial reasoning.
