game task, congratulations!

your game task better
3. destroy intrinsic motivation to
play your game task
4. metrics fetishism pushes you
towards designs where EM works

25. “The day when a sportsman stops
thinking above all else of the happiness
in his own effort and the intoxication of
the power and physical balance he
derives from it, the day when he lets
considerations of vanity or interest take
over, on this day his ideal will die.”
Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937)

29. “amidst all this confusion, we’re losing
sight of the question of what would
happen if we really did apply the deeper
powers of game design to more everyday
things – if we really did gamify them –
and that question is a fascinating, exciting
and troubling one. I really hope we get a
chance to explore it properly.”
Margaret Robertson (2010) Hideandseek.net
