Videogames and the Spirit of Capitalism (by paolo pedercini)

Paolo Pedercini on videogames and capitalism is rather good and thought-provoking. I am grateful he’s willing to discuss gamification (most “serious” thinkers in games have started to ignore it, but that doesn’t mean it has gone away). His suggestions for steering computer-assisted gaming and playing away from a super-rational and utilitarian mode reminded me of soft gamification and are worth exploring further.
