David Lee could we allow an enable/disable calorie tracker in that for daily/weekly etc tracking.
I know theres been somw talk about some people wanting to remove that from the games, but I would love to see that progress.

We are tackling this in 2025. Sharing my high-level thoughts on this one:
- Profile is typically an OS-level feature. Profiles are set up at the OS level. Relevant features are exposed to the games. Games leverage those features.
- With profiles, there could also be features like an activity tracker at the OS level, so members know who played the most.
- For single-player adventure games like Pip's Tale, profiles make a ton of sense. Everybody can save their progress, it is excellent. For 4-player party games, profiles are not necessary.
- For 2-player games, profiles get a little tricky. Should progress be saved under a primary user or the two-user combo?
- A main worry is that profiles can complicate our simple plug-and-play model. An ideal path is to not force profile selection, use local face recognition to identify players, and automatically suggest switching profiles at the right time.
- Let's aim for a magical experience.

This would be so cool! Every game you enter, you can choose if you want to link the player to a saved profile. The profile could save all past game scores, levels to jump back into, etc.

Yes please! We have 4 kids and they all play at different levels and want the chance to do it all themselves
