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-affc4c5vi.mit-edu.top/post/6738421095" 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="The Role of Mobile Games in Promoting Global Social Movements" title="The Role of Mobile Games in Promoting Global Social Movements" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Walter Hughes</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-affc4c5vi.mit-edu.top/post/1568790243"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/3.jpg" alt="Multi-Objective Optimization in Game AI Using Pareto Front Analysis" title="Multi-Objective Optimization in Game AI Using Pareto Front Analysis" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1568790243.mit-edu.top/post/1568790243/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-02</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affc4c5vi.mit-edu.top/post/1568790243">Multi-Objective Optimization in Game AI Using Pareto Front Analysis</a></h2> <p class="info">Gamification extends beyond entertainment, infiltrating sectors such as marketing, education, and workplace training with game-inspired elements such as leaderboards, achievements, and rewards systems.
