THIS IS A """GAME""" PEOPLE!!!

Let's think about this for a second. What is your business? What do you sell? Oh yeah that's right you sell a VIRTUAL product to people so they can have a better experience in a GAME.

This is the same as any other MMO. Instead of leveling up people buy products to make there character better, but instead of stats it's their own personal preference.

I maybe could understand it being more than a game if you sold TANGIBLE products instead of virtual one's. But as far as i've seen nobody does.

Stop acting like your all better than anyone because you play a GAME but enjoy calling it real life 2.0.


OH wait, I forgot. Itunes is a game! Silly me, I thought it was a music download service :)

I'm here cause it's a fun game to play on my weekends when I don't have classes. It's NOT MY INTERNET 2.0. Sheesh.




If SL is a game then what is the set goal? What are the set rules? And please don't site the TOS as the rules of the game. They are not game rules and there is no goal set by LL. The only goals are what an individual may set for themselves.

Btw... I've been out of school since 1977 so you're not talking to someone who hasn't been around the block a few times.

From this, I take it you think web designers, computer programmers, etc. don't have real jobs, since they don't make tangible goods?

Why do people confuse "tangible" with "real"? *shrugs*

Yep, thats the problem... Lots of people still think that way, and thats one of the main problems in quick adoption of video on demand, downloadable music, video, games, etc. But, as you see by the growing adoption of it, the trend is at least changing...

Sorry you get a tangible product from Itunes. An Mp3 which you can listen to and burn to a cd to take with you and listen too.

Not reading the last page an a half cause well its probadly the same old bullshit but I do wish to say indeed SL is more then a game for alot of us, I'm disabled an it is extremely hard to just "stroll outside" so I do alot of socail interacting online in this place. Also work for my RL income inside this platform an just want to point out if SL was so bad in big buisness point of view I hardly doubt U.C. Davis would be contracted with them for training students in the medical field... Anywho... Bridge Commander here I come...

You're obviously left behind in the stone age on this one, because those of us who have incorporated technology into our lifestyle no longer need games with universal goals. Rather, SL is a sandbox game. This month's goal is to collect all 50 of the state primdongs.

That is a digital copy of a tangible product. You could in fact take the graphic from your virtual t-shirt you just bought, print it out and place it on a real blank t-shirt just like your downloaded song.

You obviously don't understand the point I was trying to make. Your selling a product that is owned by LL. Not a product that you yourself own and can take with you. Web designers, programmers, etc. provide a product that is REAL not virtual.

That is a bit of a grasp isnt it?... That kinda dances around other issues with ownership in SL... And something that will evolve with time. Just like the early internet, that I have to keep drawing parallels for you guys.

Not really.. at least not with any condoned means. Items with permissions don't let you save textures to the harddrive.. you'd have to use 3rd party software which is still questionable in nature.. plus SL clothing usually has really bad resolutions for blowing up for t-shirts

a much wiser solution would be selling high resolution vector art on real websites like real businesses do or something

stuff you make is SL is pretty much limited to.. being in SL. ESPECIALLY things written with LSL. That scripting language translates to nowhere else yaknow.

lol... I simply enjoy using SL for whatever I want at the moment... If that was to go to an inworld library instead of a real one, to read up real quick on, for example, MC Eschers work, I would. Or goto an inworld gallery to view his works or others like his... Or order a REAL pizza if it were available... ;) Just like I use my online bankings website to quickly view and pay bills, transfer funds, etc... I would do that in SL if I could, its all about convenience, "wow" factor, and fun.

Yeah right. I own a pc shop in RL and I'm still in the stone age. Whatever. Welcome to my DNR list.
