It's built into the game engine so I imagine the game would track this just like they would any other gaming event. My God, Mario yawns if don't push any buttons for 30 seconds. Spy Ware!
Dear Microsoft,
I am very passionate about using Windows. When I heard about this opportunity to meet big Bill I went to my favorite warez site and downloaded the latest version of Windows xp. I nearly shit my pants when I saw how large the download was. Only a very passionate user like me would be willing to sacrifice so much bandwidth to download your OS. Only a passionate user such as myself would be willing to type this message for a 3rd time since the first two times I got a blue screen while performing the complex operation of typing in a Slashdot message. Only the most passionate user would be willing to wait the 10 minutes it took windows to boot after those blue screens. Indeed there are few more passionate about windows than me. I truly look forward to meeting you Bill. It's been a dream of mine ever since... Crap I give up.
Think about it this way. Companies used to dump their waste into the nearest river because it was cheaper than properly disposing of the waste. Then society figured out that while this is cheaper for the company it costs society as a whole a lot more. I'm not saying that cutting a bunch of jobs is as bad as dumping waste into a river. I'm just saying I do think there are similarities as far as costs to society.
