Uhh...right.  Built in user contests?  Games-in-games?
Granted, real girls (and boys) already come with them,
but not quite in the sense these are meant - and often
with far more depth than is commercially available.

But product placement opportunities is the real
warning sign.  If a real life person bombards you with
love just to get you to give money to (and usually
"join", as in giving your money exclusively to) his or
her group, that's often known as a "cult" in the bad
sense.
