Ethical gamification: a discussion evening with Sam Liberty
online
RSVP on Luma: https://lu.ma/o260sjwl
As designers, we have the power and responsibility to craft systems that engage without exploiting psychological vulnerabilities or manipulating players into harmful patterns. Ethical gamification explores how our design choices impact player psychology and behavior, challenging us to create experiences that respect player agency while still delivering compelling gameplay.
Join us for a discussion evening with Sam Liberty as we explore the intersection of gamification-based design and ethics. We start with a talk by Sam, followed by an open discussion.
