Tony Ventrice has
two responses to this discussion
• "Gamification" as a term is
indeed opportunistic and vague.
• Games have a lot to offer, and
the current form of gamification
isn't a bad place to start.

Fun is the act of mastering a problem mentally.

A game is a problem-solving activity, approached
with a playful attitude.
A common conclusion on the game design side :
“Choice” and “Learning”
