Reviews
" Y ou've Been Played is the urgent wake-up call we need to the dangers of the gamification run amok, where manipulation masquerades as fun and politics and profit are the only real winners. Essential reading for lovers of games, human freedom, and anyone who still believes that playing should be fun." -- David Sax, bestselling author of The Revenge of Analog

Synopsis
How games are being harnessed as instruments of exploitation--and what we can do about it Warehouse workers pack boxes while a virtual dragon races across their screen. If they beat their colleagues, they get an award. If not, they can be fired. Uber presents exhausted drivers with challenges to keep them driving. China scores its citizens so they behave well, and games with in-app purchases use achievements to empty your wallet. Points, badges, and leaderboards are creeping into every aspect of modern life. In You've Been Played , game designer Adrian Hon delivers a blistering takedown of how corporations, schools, and governments use games and gamification as tools for profit and coercion. These are games that we often have no choice but to play, where losing has heavy penalties. You've Been Played is a scathing indictment of a tech-driven world that wants to convince us that misery is fun, and a call to arms for anyone who hopes to preserve their dignity and autonomy.

    Great experience purchasing from them. The item arrived so well packed and secured that it took me around 5+ minutes just to open fully. Condition was as advertised (photos were accurate), price was exceptional, and the item was delivered ahead of schedule. I hope to be able to buy from them again!

    Items came exactly as described. All of the Blu rays and steelbook look fantastic. I am very happy with the quality of the product. The value I got, for the condition of the items is fantastic. I was able to make use of a “buy 8, get 50%” deal, which made the value quite incredible actually. Items were packaged professionally and shipped with care. All items were individually bubble wrapped and shipped in a box. Shipping was fast via USPS with tracking. I would do business with the seller again
