Overview: | With social games taking a prominent position in the industry, there's been a lot of controversy recently about their metrics-driven approach to design and development. Some people curse this as a soulless approach that turns games into hamster wheels, while others herald it as a new era where design is not based on personal taste but rather on hard, real-time data about everything that players are doing.
