I contend that virtual environments that are only games do not fully create a rich, rounded sense of place: as games are engaging challenges and addiction machines, one is either in a reflective place or in a game’s dynamic magic circle. Places relate to other places and allow one to place oneself toward movement or rest in contrast to games’ constant agitation and cajoling of the player to always engage, focus, move, or scheme. To gamify place is to systematize its chaotic, spontaneous, and highly localized and personal interactions.
