It is actually very easy to create a Friend List just for 'Game Friends.'
When you are adding a fake game friend, you can immediately add them to this list. Facebook makes this step easy.*
And to my surprise, it is also somewhat straightforward to exclude this list from your various privacy setting items. I assumed I would have to explicitly include - piece by piece - sets of friends with whom I do want to share data, but Facebook provides functionality to exclude a friend list. Bingo.
Now if I could only have a way to exclude a friend list from contributing to my News Feed.
* Furthermore, by assigning a fake friend to an appropriate list in the same step that you send a friend request, you can avoid the security gap within which a fake friend would have access to your private data before you were able to manually add them to such a list.
