I think 'infantilisation' is probably a better term than 'gamification' - to someone who doesn't play computer games, Epic Win and its ilk look like so many automated Primary School teachers handing out gold stars for listening quietly at story time.


I know this probably adds little to the discussion, but I can't get past the word "Gamify".


Awesome:)
