The stockmarket itself is already gamification of fractional ownership of companies. Lots of people that are active on it don't realize that it is just like a casino where the house will always win and they are just there to supply warm bodies and funds. The amount of bullshit that I've heard newly minted 'day traders' spout is second to none. Lambs to the slaughter, and bragging about it all the way to the butchers knife.

That's not really it. The majority of participants in the stock market are passive investors.
