What Web Designers Can Learn From Video Games

Dieser Frage (die ja eigentlich gar keine Frage ist) geht Anne Sallee Miles in ihrem Artikel nach.

“Games are becoming more Web-like, and the Web is becoming more game-like. If you need proof of this, you have only to look at Yahoo Answers. Random questions are posed, the top answer is chosen, and credibility points are given to the winner. It’s a ranking system that accumulates and unlocks more and more features within the system. It works because of the psychology of achievement and game mechanics and thus encourages interaction. This raises the question, what can a Web designer learn from games, or — more specifically — video games?”

Ich verlinke das jetzt mal ungelesen, da die Features bei ‘Smashing Magazine’ in der Regel gehaltvoll und gut recherchiert sind. Sollte es sich hier um eine Ausnahme handeln, zerstört sich dieser Artikel binnen 12 Stunden von selbst.
