Virtual World aint so bad


Bulldog699 is quoted saying, "You criticize them for putting real money into something that isnt real. Is that much different than pumping quarters into the machines at an arcade, or paying for a sports ticket just to watch. Second Life, as with any other hobby, doesnt need to earn you money or contribute to the world to make it an enjoyable hobby." What is different about second life from all the other online games? Why is everyone making such a big fuss about it and not the starcraft players? People pay for intertainment all the day and this is simply one way of doing that. The sad part however is that this game makes you feel like you are accomplishing something when in reality you are not. When you play a shootem up game online you probably dont think at all about how you are accomplishing anything but when you make a million linden dollar deal on second life you really feel like you are a big deal.
