<h2>About</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.

<h2>The Launch</h2>

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.

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

The special Issue 17 "This lootbox found you for a reason" explores how features of
|
|
|
|
|
(video)games 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

|

|
|
|
|
|
and society. Yet leisure remains a contested space which is still unequally
|
|
|
|

distributed, between genders, ethnicities and abilities. The form of the publication
|
|
|
|

reworks the figure of the loot box, a typically virtual and predatory monetisation
|
|
|
|
|
scheme.
