Works the same way as PAWS and NAIS.
It can be considered so what.
An interactive video game is not the same as a parent putting a chip in their kid's vehicle, and that is not the same as the government making a database of animals.
Calpernia, you may see all this as one very complicated 1984 conspiracy, but that doesn't make it so. What all this ~is~ is people having the same issues we've always had: Parents pry into their kids' privacy, and unleashed governments tend to grow in size and scope. All these chips do is add technology to the same human tendencies... only instead of just listening in on the phone call or reading the kid's diary, parents can now put a GPS tracker in the car. Dang! Glad they didn't have that when I was a kid!
