..that I've seen in awhile.

Quote:

Most addiction-based game elements are based on [virtual item collection]

Your brain treats items and goods in the video game world as if they are real. Because they are.

People scoff at this idea all the time ("You spent all that time working for a sword that doesn't even exist?") and those people are stupid. If it takes time, effort and skill to obtain an item, that item has value, whether it's made of diamonds, binary code or beef jerky.

That's why the highest court in South Korea ruled that virtual goods are to be legally treated the same as real goods. And virtual goods are now a $5 billion industry worldwide.

There's nothing crazy about it. After all, people pay thousands of dollars for diamonds, even though diamonds do nothing but look pretty. A video game suit of armor looks pretty and protects you from video game orcs. In both cases you're paying for an idea.

I am glad that I could point it out. It works, I have the addiction problem with MW2. I keep trying to get the fall camo for weapons while it does nothing at all.

diamonds can be used for other things than just looking at them

This. Diamonds are the hardest mineral on earth and can also be used for scopes and magnifying glasses.

But I do get OP's point.

Yes, obviously. It was referring to the casual consumerism of them though, like in rings or earrings for example. That was the comparison it was drawing, though I'm guessing you knew that and just felt like being an ass. Ohu Bolock :)

yes, I know. but if you buy them like that and dont want them any more you can sell them and they can be put to something useful, while a sword on a game can only be sold for something else on the game and cant leave that world

You realise there are billions of dollars made in sales of virtual game items. I had 400 chaos scrolls that, at the time, could have got me around £1000-2000. It takes effort on my part, but it could be done.

Thats exchange for currency, anything can be bought with money and using that money you can buy something else, Im talking about the actual object.
The object of diamonds can be bought to look at , then also used for other things. But a sword in a game can only be a sword in a game to use for that game.

I could exchange my shit for currency if someone were to buy it, then my shit would be worth more than diamonds. At least thats how you put it.

You can sell your account.
My friend makes 100$ of real-life money for every account he levels up and sells in WoW. He levels like 6 80's every week, and sells them all for like $600.00
