Reply to comment by DonManuel in The Gamification of Everything Is No Fun Adrian Hon’s book “You’ve Been Played” warns against the abuses of game logic in work and politics. by donnygel

I think the issue is when you gamify certain industries/work, people start focusing on the "points" or "score" over the actual job. You can see this problem when companies start tracking certain metrics for performance; employees find ways to game the system and get more points without actually helping the company/business.

That always happened, since the beginning of employment. And it always was an arms competition, a game of cat and mouse.
