Even games themselves have been doing this stuff for centuries. Think about how darts successfully gamified doing really hard sums in your head.<br /><br />It's also worth pointing out that loyalty schemes do use rewards of actual value - buy x ys and get z free, whereas much of gamification either doesn't, doesn't want to, or can't, and must instead use entirely virtual, objectively valueless rewards.<br /><br />I'll be doing more on gamification soon, so hopefully some of the larger picture can start to work its way in.Mark Sorrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073823684975353199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609084580606464400.post-18507998726380167462011-07-25T14:11:46.279+01:002011-07-25T14:11:46.279+01:00Hurrah for your first post, bro.
