"Social, Casual and Mobile Games" 是一本由 Tama Leaver 和 Michele Willson 编辑的书籍，探讨了游戏行业的变化，特别是社交、休闲和移动游戏领域的发展。这本书由 Bloomsbury Academic 出版，探讨了移动设备上的游戏如何利用地理位置信息等技术，改变了人们的娱乐方式。在当今的数字时代，移动游戏已经变得无处不在，智能手机和平板电脑使得游戏触手可及。例如，描述中提到的《愤怒的小鸟》和《糖果粉碎传奇》是移动游戏中非常流行的例子，人们可以在公共交通工具上或任何空闲时间轻松游玩。这些游戏通常设计简洁，易于上手，适合各年龄段的玩家，因此被称为休闲游戏。 “社交游戏”标签表明书中会涵盖游戏如何融入社交元素，如玩家间的互动、竞争或合作。这种社交功能使游戏不再局限于单人体验，而是成为连接玩家的平台。例如，游戏可能允许玩家邀请朋友一起玩，分享成就，甚至通过社交媒体平台进行比赛。移动设备的游戏还能够利用地理定位信息（geo-location），创造出更具现实感的体验。这可能涉及到基于位置的服务，让玩家在真实世界中寻找虚拟物品，或者与附近的玩家进行互动。例如，像《精灵宝可梦GO》这样的增强现实游戏就利用了这一特性，玩家需要在现实世界中移动来捕捉虚拟生物。此外，书中的内容可能还会涉及免费游戏模式（freemium model）的讨论，这种模式下游戏本身可以免费下载，但通过内购、广告或其他付费机制来盈利。这种商业模式极大地推动了移动游戏市场的发展，但也引发了关于游戏成瘾、消费行为和公平性的讨论。总体而言，"Social, Casual and Mobile Games" 这本书可能会深入分析移动游戏如何改变我们的娱乐习惯，以及它们在社交、技术和商业层面的影响。它可能会探讨开发者如何创新，以适应这个快速变化的市场，同时也会关注这些变化对社会文化、用户行为以及游戏产业本身所带来的影响。对于想要了解移动游戏行业动态和趋势的读者来说，这本书提供了一个宝贵的视角。

his collection is one outcome of a larger initiative funded by an Australia

Research Council Research Linkage Grant (ARC Linkage LP11200026).

The volume itself has been in gestation since July 2013 when we hosted

a very successful Australian and New Zealand Communication Association

(ANZCA) ANZCA preconference titled ‘Social, Casual and Mobile: Changing

Games’ at Curtin University, in Perth, Western Australia.

Building on the inspirational papers at this event, and supplemented

with a wider call for papers, we have drawn together an excellent range of

contributions, including researchers at all stages of their career, across a

number of countries and institutions, addressing a range of technologies, game

genres, platforms and perspectives. We are very pleased with the ﬁnal result

and would like to thank all of the contributors for their chapters, their patience

and their generosity as this collection has slowly taken its ﬁnal form.

All edited collections are the result of the hard work of a large number of

people whose contributions need to be acknowledged. We would like to thank

the team at Bloomsbury Academic for all of their assistance in bringing this

book into being. Particular mention must go to Mary Al-Sayed and Katie Gallof

for their timely responses, helpful suggestions and general goodwill! We

would like to warmly thank artist and academic Troy Innocent for generously

allowing us to use the fantastic image drawn from one of his games for the

cover of this book.

For research assistance, supporting the preconference and prooﬁng in a

very timely and good-willed manner, our thanks go to Gwyneth Peaty and Ceri

Clocherty. Larissa Hjorth and Ingrid Richardson’s chapter, Mobile games and

ambient play, is a revised and updated version of an earlier chapter in Larissa

And, of course, special thanks must go to our families. Tama would like to

thank Emily, Henry, Tom and Rose for their love, support, patience and for all

the games. Michele would like to thank Tony, Ben and Asha who may have

struggled at times with the concept that playing games could be work but who

continued to be supportive and loving throughout this project nonetheless.
