Ah, thanks. The PC Gamer UK story is actually based on the one I wrote almost two years ago (reposted in the new NWN):

POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION

They seem to have lifted some quotes and screenshots from NWN without attribution, too.

Wow, I didn't know this article was over two years old. Kind of degrading of PC Gamer to repost an old topic like that. At the least, it's two pages of publicity for Second Life in the 'Top Selling PC Games Magazine'.

Heh. Gonna go read that. I like PC Gamer. Most of their game reviews have been pretty dead-on. Made the mistake of not heeding their reviews a couple o' times & got burned.

Dammit, another article pushing the "hey make money" side instead of all the thousands of other possibilities.
