I feel like this article is trying to insinuate dynamic or different pricing, rather than just the "personalized recommendations" that is what's actually happening?
This makes perfect sense, and they already do it outside of sales; I don't need to see the cleanup-a-shop-or-library-a-wizard-trashed games, and my wife doesn't need to see Total War: W40k.
