Description

Why do systems that once energized people suddenly fall silent? In this episode of Physics of Gamification, we dive into feedback decay — how even functioning reward systems lose emotional power over time if not actively renewed. Learn how to design contrast, surprise, and real identity-building moments into your feedback loops… and why without them, motivation doesn’t disappear — it quietly decays.
