I think you are bang on with this one. The advertising potential for this alone is huge, and there are so many other applications for that kind of detailed profiling. This is absolutely a large step on a path we do not wish to tread upon.
@Ramin: Very cool to hear you did design work for SG. I would not have guessed that. I happily played that game for many years, and ended up doing their fight balancing system PR , assorted unit design, and their F2P design barbaric by modern standards I 'll grant, but ...
Sony 's presentation felt like they were selling their box as the combination of a console and Facebook. Facebook is a loathesome platform for gaming, not so much for what it could do, but for the business models that have taken hold there. Oh boy, I can spam my friends ...
I had pretty much the same reaction to Mechwarrior Tactics that you seem to have. I really enjoy turn based gaming, and I loved the original Battletech game and many of its descendants, so I was quite interested to see what MW Tactics had to offer. However, once I realized ...

I 've always been mindful of what games I play around my kids, but largely only found that I was editing my choices to avoid anything from the horror genre. I admit I 'm not much of an FPS player by default, so there wasn 't too much that cropped ...
I love the description of these chaff as 'anti-social games ' because I think you are dead on. Games that cause you to be a nuisance to your friends are not improving your social interactions, they are worsening them. r n r nA game that you play with your friends ...
Many thanks for sharing your numbers I really appreciate when people are willing to lend some transparency to the costs, choices, and results of projects
