- 11. Johan Huizinga »Summing up the formal characteristics of play we might call it a free activity standing quite consciously outside ‘ordinary’ life as being ‘not serious’, but at the same time absorbing the player intensely and utterly. It is an activity connected with no material interest, and no profit can be gained by it.« homo ludens (1949: 13)
- 12. Roger Caillois man, play, and games (2001) »Play is an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money«
- 13. Roger Caillois man, play, and games (2001: 6) »There is also no doubt that play must be defined as a free and voluntary activity […]. A game which one would be forced to play would at once cease being play.«
- 14. PJ Rey »Gamification is a mechanism for de-coupling alienation from capitalist production […]. By masking work as play, capitalist production moves exploitation out of the work places and infiltrates our leisure time. Play loses its innocence. It is no longer an escape from the system, it is just another branch of it. Waste is no longer wasted. Playbor is part of capitalism’s effort to colonize every last moment in the waking day.« gamification, playbour & exploitation (2012)
- 15. Ian Bogost »More specifically, gamification is marketing bullshit, invented by consultants as a means to capture the wild, coveted beast that is videogames and to domesticate it for use in the grey, hopeless wasteland of big business. [...] it takes games – a mysterious, magical, powerful medium that has captured the attention of millions of people – and it makes them accessible in the context of contemporary business.« gamification is bullshit (2011) http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4294/persuasive_games_shell_games.php

- 25. brian sutton-smith »The word rhetoric is used here in its modern sense, as being a persuasive discourse, or an implicit narrative, wittingly or unwittingly adopted by members of a particular affiliation to persuade others of the veracity and worthwhileness of their beliefs.« the ambiguity of play (1997: 8)
- 26. brian sutton-smith »As the term is used here, the rhetorics of play express the way play is placed in context within broader value systems […] The popular rhetorics are large-scale cultural ‘ways of thought’ in which most of us participate in one way or another, although some specific groups will be more strongly advocates for this or that particular rhetoric.« the ambiguity of play (1997: 8)
