Thanks for taking the time to read it! Pokemon Go has always stank to me of the sort of things Pinkerton’s pointing out. When they were active, the Situationists always resisted the creation of an ism; Situationism was like a creation of people who didn’t understand the liberatory nature of their theories. But I think you see Situationism alive in some of the most insidious aspects of gamification like this!
