Homogenization of the Workforce	Misuse of data to infer information about a person in a different context than the game’s
Loss of Agency	Using computational systems that take away individual autonomy to act
Illusion of Change	Deceptive sense of accomplishment without leading to a real transformation
Shallowness and Inauthenticity	Incorporation of the “fun” factor that becomes distractive and can backfire from the original intention
