I'd have to disagree with you on that one, save for the last part. There are people a lot better known than some people. Some liked a lot, some disliked a lot. But I do agree that being 'popular' on a game is pretty pointless. In fact, why would you want to be popular on a game other than to boost your ego? You aren't a celebrity or anything. Being popular means you're just more likely to get spammed by people.
