By "cultural capital" I think he really means game design @Metamoderna @autotrnslucencehttps://twitter.com/autotrnslucence/status/1038875004115374080 …
Hmm. Can you say more? It seems like cultural capital partially looks like prosthetic charisma, which influences people for one step but not more. But I also think he’s conflating two things by lumping e.g. FB’s designers and FB celebrities into the same group.

Game designers are those who, with systems of roles and rules, incite non-remunerated participation. So the designers of FB count, and so do many celebrities, who give their audience roles to play. (Charisma's not power; rather, charismatic celebrities are pawns in others' games)

Hmm, I would agree with that. I also think that within Hanzi's definition of cultural capital might be those who corral attention - or would you consider that also game design?
-
Well, yes. But unfortunately flawed macro systems mean the greatest games don't garner the most attention. Yet.
-
What are the great games you think are undervalued, attention-wise?

Have you read Finite and Infinite Games? Recommended.

I'm familiar with the concepts. Got 1/10th of the way in and was turned of by Carse's prose. Most of what I know comes from Ribbonfarm posts on it.
