Por um jogo justo: gamificação como design da vulnerabilidade

Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate how the current framework of technology contributes to the exploration of our lives when we are most vulnerable. All this through the analysis of what is conventionally called gamification in the context of electronic games. The idea is to draw attention to a legal appreciation of an individual hypervulnerability when he is immersed in the video game experience. To this end, the work was developed in four sections: The first is intended to present an overview of the relationship between science and domination, as a preface to the problems involving the development of information technologies in our present. The second is intended to show precisely how information technologies end up becoming instruments of domination on an unprecedented scale, highlighting the vulnerability that individuals play in the digital environment. The third is intended to deepen the player's vulnerability in the context of the treatment of their personal data in contemporary times. Here we see how design and manipulation can be an unfavorable combination for the whole society through the analysis of the gamification of games. The fourth is intended to trivially outline the role that data protection can play in promoting rights and mitigating the risks that this space of hypervulnerability characteristic of games carries.
