Possiamo smetterla di chiamarli giochi โ€œseriโ€? Cerco di evitare piรน che posso lโ€™uso del termine Serious Games, ma non possiamo far finta di ignorare che questo รจ il termine spesso utilizzato quando parliamo di giochi educativi, anche se le due cose non coincidono. Vediamo di capirci qualcosa di piรน.

Can we stop calling them "serious" games? I try to avoid using the term Serious Games as much as I can, but I canโ€™t escape the fact that this is a term often used when we talk about educational games, though the overlap isnโ€™t always complete. Letโ€™s see what this is all about.

ยซBogostโ€™s derogatory description of gamification reflects many peopleโ€™s attitudes: โ€œGamification is marketing bullshit, invented by consultants as a means to capture the wild, coveted beast that is videogames and to domesticate it for use in the grey, hopeless wasteland of big business, where bullshit already reigns anyway.โ€ยป

โ“ What do you think of gamification? I'm not a fan but it's a popular thing. Fire away!
