People don't know what fun is. (Destiny)

by General Vagueness , The Vault of Sass, Wednesday, October 08, 2014, 17:48 (3505 days ago) @ Riceamike

And that's the major sin of player investment systems. People like being rewarded. It is scientifically based methods on how to make people 'addicted' to things.

What gamers instead take this manipulation as is having 'fun'. They don't realize that what they're having fun doing is 'getting things handed to them', and that ends up being the main motivator to play more, because they want to get more rewards. If you stripped Destiny of all player rewards, no one would play anything. The game is too bare otherwise to be enjoyable.

I take back my other comment, you're being asinine, and I bet people are responding to it in predictable and negative (and maybe bad) ways-- I'm out.
