People often say that motion controls are a gimmick, but they're actually a very usable interface that created/popularized entirely new genres and less popular genres of gameplay. Achievements, on the other-hand, are gimmicks of the most blatant nature.


Agree. I myself once fell for them on that FarmVille abomination, but after a while I realized they were a perverted mechanism that often starts a vicious circle turning gaming from a pleasant hobby into an obsessive-compulsive experience. And suddenly I realized too that FV mainly consists of them and stopped playing it altogether and cold turkey.
