Future of gaming | MetaFilter: "He seemed to move from children's demand games ('Can I have six dollars to play this game?') to teen demand games (Well, it must be worth $20 because I've been doing it so much,' to 'incentivizing' good behavior (tooth brushing) which doesn't cost more than a brush & toothpaste, (and you can do without the toothpaste by using soda). And underlying it all was the idea of 'competition' and it's 'rewards'.
I think he's headed for a brick wall. To get to the behavior mod stage, people need the disposable income to invest in the first few levels of 'reward', (like Joe Beese said. Recall that Scientology broke out during the '60s, when there was plenty of loose money around.)"
