social influence 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-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/8763401592" 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="Adaptive Load Balancing Algorithms for Game Servers in High Traffic Scenarios" title="Adaptive Load Balancing Algorithms for Game Servers in High Traffic Scenarios" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Sharon Cox</strong> <span>2025-02-07 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-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/3987625014"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/4.jpg" alt="Exploring Social Norms in Player-Created Virtual Economies" title="Exploring Social Norms in Player-Created Virtual Economies" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3987625014.mit-edu.top/post/3987625014/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-07</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/3987625014">Exploring Social Norms in Player-Created Virtual Economies</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper examines the application of behavioral economics and game theory in understanding consumer behavior within the mobile gaming ecosystem. It explores how concepts such as loss aversion, anchoring bias, and the endowment effect are leveraged by mobile game developers to influence players' in-game spending, decision-making, and engagement. The study also introduces game-theoretic models to analyze the strategic interactions between developers, players, and other stakeholders, such as advertisers and third-party service providers, proposing new models for optimizing user acquisition and retention strategies in the competitive mobile game market.</p> <a href="https://blog-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/3987625014" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/10.jpg" alt="Exploring Social Norms in Player-Created Virtual Economies" title="Exploring Social Norms in Player-Created Virtual Economies" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Anthony Edwards</strong> <span>2025-02-07 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-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/6735910824"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/18.jpg" alt="Gamifying Medical Training: Mobile Games for Simulation-Based Learning" title="Gamifying Medical Training: Mobile Games for Simulation-Based Learning" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6735910824.mit-edu.top/post/6735910824/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-07</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affky1nps.mit-edu.top/post/6735910824">Gamifying Medical Training: Mobile Games for Simulation-Based Learning</a></h2> <p class="info">This study applies social network analysis (SNA) to investigate the role of social influence and network dynamics in mobile gaming communities. It examines how social relationships, information flow, and peer-to-peer interactions within these communities shape player behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. The research builds upon social learning theory and network theory to model the spread of gaming behaviors, including game adoption, in-game purchases, and the sharing of strategies and achievements.
