The Future Of Gaming
What will we play next ? And more important how will we play
?
As you can see in the last decade the video games bussiness has
increased constantly and will grow even bigger. Many people
usually find in video games a great form of entertainment. Since
the number of people from poor countries that can buy a computer
is becoming bigger and bigger every day we might see a boost in
the industry.
In the last years many online games appeared like World of
Warcraft, Project Entropia, Lineage II and so on. And some
gamers can make a living from these games. Recently in Project
Entropia have been sold some virtual property deeds for the huge
amount of 99,000 USD. The buyer competed last year with another
player for buying an island in the same game. The owner of the
island paid 16,000 USD and few months ago he claimed that he got
the investment money back from the taxes he claimed on his land.
Also we can see many sites that sell virtual money for a lot of
online games. These online games will be the future of
entertainment because you can meet real people like in a
community site and also have lots of fun playing the game.
Playing for real money can also be seen in other video games
like World of Warcraft and Lineage II where people train their
characters for few months and then they sell them on eBay for a
good sum of money.
Is this a good thing ?! Only time will tell us but as far as I'm
concerned it's a great thing to combine fun with making some
pocket money. You can earn lots of money only if you try harder
and work (play) many hours a day. The Project Entropia concept
is great because instead of paying for the game you can be paid
to play. The game economy is based on the players the don't play
for money but for fun whitch invest their money in the game for
better armors or weapons. In the near future I suspect we will
see more games of this kind on the market because they are
really popular.
