Deeply horrifying
Gabe Zichermann describes gamification as "the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to engage users and solve problems".
Here we can imagine a form of society– “game society” –where 1) there are no laws (rules of a game aren’t quite the same as laws), and where 2) we have no unity among the members of society (because they are in competition with one another), yet where, nonetheless, behavior is thoroughly regulated by participation in the game. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about this model of power that I find deeply horrifying.
Can't imagine why.
