Gamification - Falling Down the Leader Board? - Char Ryder - ACCU 2024
---
Attention is one of the most precious commodities a system can capture, and the most successful trap a system can deploy is gamification. This strategic implementation of game mechanics and systems to non-game applications is prevalent in almost every modern system - technical or otherwise.
However, recent research has shone a spotlight on the dark side of gamification and unveiled the damage it can do to its audience. In this talk, we’ll explore the unseen side of gamification, explore its consequences, and discuss how best to counteract them.
