lol, yeah, that's an excellent example.

I wish I had a stronger background in behavioral economics/psychology or some good connections in academia. The "instantly stop playing" thing seems really extreme and thus _really_ interesting. I'd expect people to think "nah, screw you buddy" but not leave entirely.

Unfortunately, while I follow a number of people on LinkedIn who work in the computational social sciences area, I'm not aware of any of them that actually follow me. I'd love to get their opinions on it but most of them are I think more in the area of economics than psychology or social psychology.
