Gamification per se is not a bad thing. Gamification is anvalid way to get better engagement and retention.

According to recent research, yes. But research is lacking in the retention of skills and knowledge once the magnification is removed. Does Duolingo create life long learners, or is it just something to pass the time and feel good about getting a streak. My theory is almost all Duolingo users would quit learning if Duolingo went away tomorrow and everyone has to restart at 0 on a new app/service.
