+ + + → Read more about Fage not Pound + + ++ 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 + 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. The form of the publication + reworks the figure of the loot box, a typically virtual and predatory monetisation + scheme. +
