They are supposedly now banning keywords in titles so you won't be seeing more title like Floopy Bird - incredibly fun additive threes 2048 game. Good.
As for banning incentivized social actions: that really sucks if you aren't one of the companies (like King, Zynga, etc) that have really benefited from the growth of using those incentivized actions. Developers that came before you won't be punished and you are now going to have to spend your way to the top. Good luck with that.
One rumor is that they are banning some incentivized video ad networks because ads were coming up with Google Play logos. Oops.
Anyways - the long and short of it is, while the policies are probably net positive for the consumer, the people that gamed the system early still win.
