By drawing on social psychology and network theory, the paper investigates how players' social circles, including friends, family, and online communities, influence their gaming habits, preferences, and spending behavior. The research explores how mobile games leverage social influence through features such as social media integration, leaderboards, and team-based gameplay. The study also examines the ethical implications of using social influence techniques in game design, particularly regarding manipulation, peer pressure, and the potential for social exclusion.</p> <a href="https://blog-affpr3cn7.mit-edu.top/post/7362940815" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/9.jpg" alt="The Impact of Real-World Economic Events on Virtual Economies" title="The Impact of Real-World Economic Events on Virtual Economies" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Laura Bell</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-affpr3cn7.mit-edu.top/post/6425098731"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/10.jpg" alt="Beyond 5G: Preparing Mobile Game Infrastructure for Ultra-Low Latency" title="Beyond 5G: Preparing Mobile Game Infrastructure for Ultra-Low Latency" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6425098731.mit-edu.top/post/6425098731/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affpr3cn7.mit-edu.top/post/6425098731">Beyond 5G: Preparing Mobile Game Infrastructure for Ultra-Low Latency</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper explores the use of mobile games as learning tools, integrating gamification strategies into educational contexts. The research draws on cognitive learning theories and educational psychology to analyze how game mechanics such as rewards, challenges, and feedback influence knowledge retention, motivation, and problem-solving skills. By reviewing case studies of mobile learning games, the paper identifies best practices for designing educational games that foster deep learning experiences while maintaining player engagement.
