Maybe someone will create a gaming model that 'borrows' from every known game in existence, so that we'll finally get an Artificial Gaming-you Intelligence.

Not surprising sr devs weren't jumping on this whole hog.

Sounds healthy to live in a padded room, rather than learning to ignore when you don't want to engage.
