The Cargo Cult of Game Mechanics (Destiny)

To me they look more like hamsters running in a wheel who occasionally get to hop off and take a sip out of their opium infused water bottle.

The term that quote's looking for is "Skinner Box" and I don't think Destiny is enough of one to be exploitative, so I'm fine in just saying "If it's fun, it's fun" and leaving it be.

But that's just my two cents.
