018 – Thermodynamic Equilibrium Beware the Plateau
Update: 2025-08-05
Description
In physics, thermodynamic equilibrium is a perfectly balanced state — no more energy flows, no more reactions happen. It’s stable. Still. And kind of dead.
In this episode, we explore what happens when gamified systems reach that same point — when everything runs “just fine,” but nothing meaningful happens anymore. From flat leaderboards to predictable feedback, we break down how challenge decay leads to disengagement… and how to reignite interest with purposeful disruption.
Because when your system stops changing, it starts fading.
