Possiamo smetterla di chiamarli giochi โseriโ? Cerco di evitare piรน che posso lโuso 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 canโt escape the fact that this is a term often used when we talk about educational games, though the overlap isnโt always complete. Letโs see what this is all about.

ยซBogostโs derogatory description of gamification reflects many peopleโs attitudes: โGamification 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.โยป
โก๏ธ https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2020.100322
โ What do you think of gamification? I'm not a fan but it's a popular thing. Fire away!

Happy to hear any and all thoughts.
