I have seen videogames that change their mechanics and story depending on parameters given by (or taken from) the players, like player genre, player personality and game difficulty. Which other approaches have been used and keep being used? Do you know about approaches that shown to be really hard or impossible to use?
I am interested in this concept (parameterizable), can you share references in this topic, thank you
Hello. You can take a look at the references in the first answer of the attached question link.

Dear Juan, maybe this book is interesting for you. It contains a lot about how to use data for game design... M. S. El-Nasr, A. Drachen, and A. Canossa, Game Analytics: Maximizing the Value of Player Data. New York: Springer, 2013.
There are a lot of papers on this topic. Look up Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment and Procedural Content Generation on Google Scholar and you'll find a ton. This is a very active area of games research so lots going on!
