Why I see these singletons as effectively global variables is because
the way you have it set up, where you can call (for example) the
GameManager.getInstance () static routine from anywhere in the code
base, allows for the GameManager class to be accessed and manipulated
from anywhere. There is no true "encapsulation" enforced. The
getInstance method allows any code to muck around with stuff it
shouldn't know or care about.
