    My hypothesis (based on related research) is that prizes drive participation in games, but lower enjoyment and overall satisfaction

        @avantgame If there's a prize people on play for the prize, not because they want to play. Bring a different audience.

        @avantgame Small prizes can aid in the enjoyment of some games. I don't think they diminish the enjoyment if they are secondary reinforcers.

        @avantgame So how can we remove the prize; maintain/increase participation; and increase enjoyment and satisfaction? Older games used to.

        @avantgame Is this not what deci and ryan proved (albeit not games related). Extrinsic rewards reduced the intrinsic reason to be involved

        @avantgame that's extrinsic vs intrinsic rewards. Love it :) also love @DanielPink - Drive for more about what motivates us

        @avantgame Makes sense. You ever see that movie "Grinders" with Matt Damon? It has a guy in it who treats the game Poker as a job (grind).

        @avantgame could be that there’s intrinsic/extrinsic motivation research on this
