How Games Motivate in Ways Work Does Not

Caraline Nelson writes: "Over the last few decades the video game industry has grown exponentially and games are one of the most consumed forms of media. With interactivity and often times connectivity, games are masses of data, not data simply in the game, such as drop rates but frequently they have data about the players ranging from their hours they have spent in game to their online transaction record. So many things are measurable. As such, games can tell us a lot about humanity."
