The result is that the best games tend to be addictive, as playersare so strongly motivated to continue the play that they find it difficult to get back to their normalactivities (Grüsser, Thalemann, & Griffiths, 2006; Kim, Namkoong, Ku, & Kim, 2008).
Designing "Bend the Curve" or other Rapid Whole System Change games, we could not intentionally make games addictive as that would create out-of-balance social situations which could create social tensions and therefore be applying the same pathological logic that has created the conditions we are attempting to transform. Hence the other motivating factors must be so strong as to compensate for techniques that purposely embed addiction.
