These games have sparked a revolution as more people from a broader demographic than ever play games, shifting the stereotype of gaming away from that of hardcore, dedicated play to that of activities that fit into everyday life. Social, Casual and Mobile Games explores the rapidly changing gaming landscape and discusses the ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural challenges that these changes invoke. With chapters discussing locative games, the new freemium economic model, and gamer demographics, as well as close studies of specific games (including Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, and Ingress), this collection offers an insight into the changing nature of games and the impact that mobile media is having upon individuals and societies around the world."--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"The first collection dedicated to analysing the casual, social, and mobile gaming movements that are changing games the world over"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMobile games 615 0$aMobile games. 676 $a794.8 702 $aLeaver$b Tama 702 $aWillson$b Michele A.$f1964- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137485903321 996 $aSocial, casual and mobile games$92127870 997 $aUNINA
