<h2>Intro</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
