  • 68.7 million Americans will be playing social games by 2012
  • Amanda Comperchio on 17 Feb 11

The other 2 resemble typical socialization when playing a game in person - "bragging rights" and playing a board game. They all seem to touch on at least one of the 3 components from Ryan & Deci - relatedness, competence, and/or autonomy.
