Comment on Is that whole gamification thing really over?

Comments

I worked at a game company where "they" brought in someone to teach us to game-ify our work. We rejected it during the meeting. We already make games for a living, we don't need to add another layer of gaming on top of that.

The basic concept of competition WITHIN the company is counterproductive to a creative workplace. We should ALL be working TOGETHER to make the best product. We have plenty of competitors outside the building, don't need to add to the list.

"The numbers are looking good and we haven't even added any gamification [to our game] yet" - a Chief Product Officer
