While this may have some appeal, I think it'll be similar to the fake Time magazine covers that made it look like someone you knew was named Time's person of the year. Good for a chuckle, but not much more. I think applying the same idea to video games makes more sense, especially given the autonomy you have in a video game, but even then, the appeal wears off pretty quickly. Games have had features that allow you to put your likeness in the game before, and that feature probably isn't what people we're buying the game for. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for Dreamcast allowed you to map a photograph of your face to the in game player. Odd example, but I actually just dusted off my old Dreamcast and remembered this feature the other day as the 20 year old game save had my 20 years younger face on the main character. What I recall about that experience was that for about 2 minutes it felt special, and then never thought about it again until feeling confused about why I was in the game before remembering.
