augmented reality (AR) games in transforming how urban spaces are perceived and interacted with by players. The study investigates how AR mobile games such as Pokémon Go integrate physical locations into gameplay, creating a hybrid digital-physical experience. The paper explores the implications of geolocation-based games for urban planning, public space use, and social interaction, considering both the positive and negative effects of blending virtual experiences with real-world environments. It also addresses ethical concerns regarding data privacy, surveillance, and the potential for gamifying everyday spaces in ways that affect public life.</p> <a href="https://blog-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/7349021586" 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="Impact of Gaming on Digital Identity Formation Across Cultures" title="Impact of Gaming on Digital Identity Formation Across Cultures" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>James Williams</strong> <span>2025-02-01 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-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/8372450196"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/12.jpg" alt="The Impact of Mobile Games on Mental Health: Benefits and Risks in a Digital Age" title="The Impact of Mobile Games on Mental Health: Benefits and Risks in a Digital Age" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-8372450196.mit-edu.top/post/8372450196/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/8372450196">The Impact of Mobile Games on Mental Health: Benefits and Risks in a Digital Age</a></h2> <p class="info">This research applies behavioral economics 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-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/8372450196" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/3.jpg" alt="The Impact of Mobile Games on Mental Health: Benefits and Risks in a Digital Age" title="The Impact of Mobile Games on Mental Health: Benefits and Risks in a Digital Age" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Thomas Clark</strong> <span>2025-02-01 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-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/4035261987"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/2.jpg" alt="The Role of Guild Systems in Promoting Social Bonds in Mobile Games" title="The Role of Guild Systems in Promoting Social Bonds in Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-4035261987.mit-edu.top/post/4035261987/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-01</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affw9yyos.mit-edu.top/post/4035261987">The Role of Guild Systems in Promoting Social Bonds in Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">Esports has risen as a global phenomenon, transforming skilled gamers into celebrated athletes.
