LinkedIn's got a little progress bar. It wants you to do things like sign up 10 of your friends. It does that near the end. At the beginning it's like, 'You put in your name. 20 percent progress! How about some other information?' People want to fill in that progress bar. They like to complete a task. They like to check a box.

Everybody is playing games. There are games now for pretty much every age, every demographic.

I jokingly call this convergence of games into reality the "Gamepocalypse": the moment when every moment of life is actually a game.
