I wanted to get in to that here, but by the time I started to go that way I realized it was already long. That probably will be the content on Wednesday, assuming I can work to make it a little less dry than this post was. I agree with you disdain for the label.

Lines up with my experiences with facebook games. Nearly every game of this type eventually leads you to a point where you're forced to spam your friends or pay money. Makes perfect sense... pay a fee or get an ad. Except you're the ad, and I find that thoroughly distasteful. Especially since the games rarely approach being worth it. As an aside, I hate how these are called social games. There's absolutely nothing social about the interactions they're forcing on the players. "Hey, click this for me" is not how I want to interact with my friends in a game. Nice bit of analysis. Lines up with my experiences with facebook games.
