The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Google going after Second Life?

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

Yeah, that's why they're spending all that money making a persistent online socialization world, on an assumption

Well, actually, yeah. That's basically what investments are. If the returns were guaranteed, it wouldn't be called an investment, it would be called a savings account.

And they don't have any empirical evidence of a large market for such an investment?

There's no assumption that there ain't money in it, they know there is. Whether or not they can capture some of it is a completely different issue altogether
