feedback comes, then they can
learn a lesson, they can see, they

goal is to WIN, but it is the
GOAL that is important,
not the winning.”

“Games are brilliant at this. Every time you do
something, you get credit; you get a credit for
trying. You don't punish failure. You reward
every little bit of effort—a little bit of gold, a
little bit of credit. You've done 20 questions—
tick. It all feeds in as minute reinforcement.”

Dunbar’s Number
“…And you get this number of 150. This
looked implausibly small… but it turned out
that this was the size of a typical community
in hunter-gatherer societies. And the average
village size in the Domesday Book is 150…”

ìGamers are virtuosos at weaving a tight social
fabricÖ And the reason is, it takes a lot of trust
to play a game with someone. We trust that
they will spend their time with us, that they will
play by the same rules, value the same goal,
stay with the game until it's over. î
