@bradheintz social comparison makes people unhappy. if you're not at top, you're demotivated. most women prefer co-op to competitive. etc -

@avantgame Even contextual/local leaderboards? Surely a bit of friendly competition (ala Need for Speed's speedwall) can add real value? -
@DSWadeson only to small % of individuals who seek competition. it's not the majority. (it is among young male videogamers, not gen public)
-
@avantgame I do agree, and largely dislike leaderboards for reasons you say. But opt-in SpeedWall esque stuff is non-intrusive and engaging!

@avantgame never heard the term leader clouds. Soudns like how I have used leaderboards in the past - help surface people ...
