Camarero Izquierdo, María Carmen San José Cabezudo, Rebeca Jiménez Torres, Nadia Huitzilin San Martín Gutiérrez, Sonia 2021-04 Even though the mobile games industry has grown substantially over the last few years, one permanent challenge which remains is to monetize it and to continue reaching new players. Current players contribute to this aim by purchasing mobile game accessories and by recruiting players. The current work analyses how the present use of the game and its appeal contribute to these behaviors. Results with information obtained from a sample of app gamers show that using a game app can have positive effects on recruitment, a notion reinforced when the level of performance rises, while overuse of the game app may lead to a feeling of addiction or shame that reduces new player recruitment. In addition, the game's perceived appeal (experiential value, procedural justice, and prestige) are also related with investing in new products and with recruitment. application/pdf http://hdl.handle.net/10259/9695 eng IGI Global The effect of use, overuse, and appeal of mobile game app on add-ons purchases and players recruitment info:eu-repo/semantics/article TEXT RIUBU.
