I think the author is forgetting where eggs come from. (hint: Chickens) Games work because they mimic life. (By life I mean, you, your emotions, the circumstances you encounter and how you handle those circumstances.) Essentially this whole post is a semantic piece interchanging the words "emotions" with "gamification" Everything about life is driven by gamification (read:emotions) already, and everything about games is triggering emotions. forcing people to make decisions using logic, experience, and driven by their emotional needs. In other words, we like games because it is life, except there is such a thing as do-overs.
