      like the burning of all the disco albums in 1980, we can declare gamification dead, long live actual game design! Cc @dingstweets @ibogost

      @dingstweets @ibogost well that's kind of good right? It are we mad that the few people who actually DO gamification won't call it that? :)

      @avantgame @ibogost (Plus, "motivational design" was intended as an opposite term now also becoming co-opted.)

      .@dingstweets @ibogost Maybe they'll call it LASER motivation design? Limited And Slightly Evil Reductionist Motivation design

      .@avantgame your rejection of the gamification community's earnest effort to improve the world seems inconsistent with your public values.

      @gzicherm I reject the fact that I am frequently associated with motivational design strategies I don't actually employ

          @avantgame this isn't about you (or me). This is about the thousands who want to change the world with the best tools available.

          @gzicherm @avantgame "change the world" != "improve the world". Much of gamified marketing is exploitive by design, according to your books

          @gzicherm @avantgame Gabe, a programming language is inherently neutral. Gamification is inherently manipulative. Have you not said so?

          @BertBates At least I can say that I have not directly profited from murder, violence and death. But keep questioning my ethics. @avantgame

          @gzicherm @bertbates you should see how many academics blame gamification for drones. If you want to go there. (I don't!)

          @avantgame you long ago stopped being just a designer and became a leader of a movement that espouses inclusiveness and optimism.
