I agree with you about the fork in the road. I have no issue with IAPs or psychological tricks. All game design and most entertainment relies on those. I do think shallow, exploitative, manipulative designs help no one.
It's definitely my focus for 2012. I'm glad it is yours too.

I totally agree with you. We've gone to an ad-supported model with our social game, Word Carnivale. Static interstitial ads after a round, with a single in-app purchase to turn that off. We're also going with this model with the soon to be released Bocce Friends for the same reason.

Gambling really worries me.

Totally agree Paul. I think the rise of gambling is going to be a big issue in 2013, and unlikely to be a positive development.
