Abstract

Motivations for game playing have always been an important topic for research. Through understanding these motivations, game manufacturers develop games based on specific demand. The smartphone combines different technology and sensors which causes the motivation for game playing to become more complicated. The goal of this study is to discover the reason for game playing on smartphones through understanding both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of the motivation theories. Furthermore, it hopes to determine which motivation has a deeper impact on players in general.
