  People are not exclusively one or another of the four player types. In fact, most people have some percentage of each. In all probability, a person’s dominant player type changes throughout her life—and even varies from game to game. But it is a compelling way, as a game designer, to see how people are motivated to play and interact in a gamified system.

  If you don’t have a ton of cash to give away as an incentive (who does?), status is an excellent alternative
