I've noticed on occasion, I've randomly had an NPC that will have the same name as a friend. When that happens in a bounty hunting run, the fun cascades. How? Because a quick screen shot happens, mainly before or as they die, if they kill you... [mad]
Anyhow, you chuck that pic at their social platform (Facebook, let's agree 90% of the time, the "social platform" of choice) and say, I just killed you/you just killed me. Some ask, "what is this game?", some say, "that's sad, get a life." But occasionally a new player is born.
So my marketing brain poked me and said, what if FD had an agreement with the ED player, much like every crappy app on FB to access just your friends list. Then there could be a "chance" that Dave from work, or Carol from that party turns up as an NPC in your game. At best it could be a "oh I've not spoken to them in ages" then stops playing to get back in touch (Still a win) or... For every 1,000 name placements you get one new player, who knows somebody that... ALREADY PLAYS! (not just plays, but cares enough to make the point in the first place. And they get help, wanted or not, to play the game and the new player experience is enhanced.)
Or, you already have access without us all knowing and we are being watched... [where is it]
