<h2>Intro</h2>

Video games features are making us more, not less, productive. Life and work are
|
||
|
|
gamified through social media, dating apps, and fitness apps designed to increase
|
||
|
|
motivation and productivity. Gamification blurs the lines between play, leisure and
|
||
|
|
labour, to release our collective dopamine for profit.
|
||
|

|
Games in themselves often perform a reproductive role, presenting capitalism as a
|
||
|
|
system of natural laws, exemplified by in-game predatory monetisation schemes. On
|
||
|
|
the other hand, games provide necessary down time and relaxation, helping people
|
||
|
|
function in a largely dysfunctional economy and society. Yet leisure remains a
|
||
|
|
contested space which is still unequally distributed, between genders, ethnicities
|
||
|
|
and abilities.

<h2>Fage Not Pound</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Fage not Pound was a temporary bar where visitors were invited to actively reflect
|
||
|
|
upon the blurred boundary between leisure and labour. Fage Not Pound was itself
|
||
|
|
hosted by Page not Found, an art book shop in Den Haag (The Netherlands).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Fage not Pound opened on the 25th of March 2022 from 18:00 to 21:00 but its
|
||
|
|
existence lasted much longer in AccAcc (FNP's local time unit). Fage not Pound was
|
||
|
|
imagined to host the official launch of This Box Found You For A Reason (Special
|
||
|
|
Issue #17) a publication by XPUB.
