Gamifying a course on BMF.io can backfire if it turns learning into just chasing points or badges. People might care more about topping the leaderboard than actually understanding the material. Some might just do the minimum to "win" without really learning anything. It can also make others feel stressed or left out if they're not doing well in the game part. And honestly, if the game stuff feels cringey or forced, it can make the whole course feel kind of lame.
