As i see it, principal components analysis is a factor analysis
method.  see http://www.statsoftinc.com/textbook/stfacan.html, and
Factor analysis, and determening the factors and the number of
factors is a part of principal components analysis. This study is
pretty much exactly what i described.

The only imediate danger is the strong bias toward EQ gamers. It
would be nice to have a weighted study that involved more basic game
types, or to see if some of the factors were more strongly
represented in one game than in another.
