Video game creator Adrian Hon. “Corporations and governments use games to control us”

Author: Jordi Perez Colome (El Pais)

I had never heard of medieval virtual pilgrimages exclaims video game designer Adrian Hone. “ But actually the principle was the same as the watch Fitbit: “, he adds. Centuries ago, religious pilgrimages were not accessible to everyone. Therefore, believers made virtual journeys at home or in monasteries. Thus they could show the world that they had taken the steps and had acquired so many precious indulgences that, when acquired on pilgrimage, guaranteed entry into heaven.

Today we think of people who did such a thing or paid for indulgences and think they were particularly foolish; explains Ho, a forty-year-old Englishman. But there was a reason. they believed in this religion and thought it was important. What will people think about us in 300 years? Someone in the future will wonder what we were doing, why we wanted to tweet and like on Twitter, he adds. From indulgences to retweets, there’s a common thread, as weird as it is: the increasing gamification of our lives.
