ADDC 2018 - Dori Adar: What can we learn from games on UX and user behaviour

We push buttons to play games. In return, they push ours.

In this talk I'll discuss five lessons learned on the relationship between games, digital products and humans.

Through vivid examples I will provide key takeaways from the gaming world to apply in almost every digital product design.
