What kind of crap idea is that?

What worries me even more though, is probably players of that game will pay to get into the 'virtual club' and spend the rest of their night making their character dance next to vaguely female looking characters while sipping on a dash of shandy.

Playing things like WoW yeah, but starting to turn it into an "alternative to real life"?

Please...

I suppose it can't be an impossible concept if you think about it, because at the end of the day us gamers are prepared to spend £30 on a disk which might have cost 50p to make, package and box. Pro Evo 5 for example isn't a real football game, but people are still willing to spend a lot of money on the virtual version, just a thought.

The type of crap idea you'll wish you though of first, as the guy rolls around in his millions. Fact is, this type of thing can
be successful. If people want to spend cash on virtual property, I wish I was on the receiving end of it....

And the winner of this months' Saddist git on the planet award goes to the new owner of a virtual space station - dear lord, whatever next, instead of investing in a virtual nightclub, why not invest in a real life!
