Why are games addictive:

• They give multiple layers of objective feedback that range from granular to sustained competence to career
• They appeal directly to our psychology needs for: Competency, Autonomy, and Relatedness

Why  games are good places for learning:

• They let you try on different identities and make meaningful choices in those identities
• They feed you challenges that are just challenging enough; not too easy or too hard
• They give you information just when you need it and when you want it
• They allow you to customize your environment
