Like button
A “like” button is provided on a computer simulation controller to make it convenient for a player of a computer simulation to register a “like”, which can be monetized.
1 . A system comprising:
at least one physical computer simulation controller with a dedicated “like” button;
at least one computer simulation source configured to receive input from the physical computer simulation controller to control presentation of a computer simulation presented on at least one display, the computer simulation source comprising at least one processor and at least one storage accessible to the processor and comprising instructions executable by the processor to:
receive input generated by the “like” button on the physical simulation controller; and
responsive to the input, present on the display an indication of a “like”;
wherein the “like” button has at least one other function for controlling the computer simulation in addition to registering a like.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer simulation source comprises a network server communicating with the physical computer simulation controller over a computer network.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer simulation source comprises a computer game console communicating directly with the physical computer simulation controller.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises an arcuate like meter.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to: responsive to receiving the input, identify a user associated with the physical simulation controller.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions are executable to: provide information regarding the input and the user to a server associated with advertising.
