Here’s a scary thing that came across my desk today: Google Patents Gamer Profiling Technology.

The patent was filed 2 years ago, and they want to do this covertly. Meaning, you don’t know if Google will be listening in while you game. Um, invasion of privacy anyone? Big brother is watching you?

I think the funniest part about this is the whole “psych profile” aspect. When I game, I play to escape reality. Meaning, I’ll often choose avatars or games that are unlike what I am in real life to get a taste of something different. I can’t believe this was filed and no one knew about it. Kind of scary.
