We can't paint with too broad a brush.

We can't paint with too broad a brush. Gamification doesn't work for all situations but does for some. Our sales reps love the leaderboards and will make extra calls or a come in a bit early to be #1. Consumer products use gamification well in a few cases (Duolingo, Carrot app etc). So is the whole gamification thing really over? No. Are we getting smarter and trying not to cram it into every place where it doesn't belong? Hopefully.
