Quotes by Jane McGonigal  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A game is an opportunity to focus our energy, with relentless optimism, at something we’re good at (or getting better at) and enjoy. In other words, gameplay is the direct emotional opposite of depression.”
Jane McGonigal, Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World

“Reality is broken. Game designers can fix it.”
Jane McGonigal

“When you strip away the genre differences and the technological complexities, all games share four defining traits: a goal, rules, a feedback system, and voluntary participation.”
Jane McGonigal, Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World
