This isn�t an article about the evils of free to play manipulation to get you to spend money. This is about how we can target you, because we (and our partners) know everything about you. We know where you live, we know your income level, we know your relationships, your favorite sports teams, your political preferences. We know when you go to work, and where you work. We can target an event to start for you when we know you have a long weekend coming up. We own you.

It is fairly common for many free products. You are the good.

However, considering the number of Facebook and similar companies users, obviously people don't care.

I wish I could say i was surprised by it but with all of these mobile games out now with micro transactions built in, it's hard to not see it as a sham.

I'll play casual mobile games to pass the time every now and then, and even I won't touch most of these freemium games because they don't feel like games. It's just interactive UI.
