It's More than Just Sharing Game Play Videos! Understanding User Motives in Mobile Game Social Media
Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Abstract
As mobile gaming has become increasingly popular in recent years, new forms of mobile game social media such as GameDuck that share mobile gameplay videos have emerged. In this work, we set out to understand the user motives of GameDuck by leveraging the Uses and Gratification Theory. We first explore the major motive themes from users' responses (n=138) and generate motivation survey items. We then identify the key motivators by conducting exploratory factor analysis of the survey results (n=354). Finally, we discuss how this new social media relates to existing systems such as Twitch.
