I’m more horrified by the continued ‘avatarzation” of Identity and “responsibility” as the “gamerz” meme increases its “importance” with all “virtuality” media online.

A thought.. a question…

Why wasn’t Hasbro’s plastic engineers or Mattel’s marketing director asked to speak to congress or at corporate paid think tanks about our future society, the individual and the laws for governing in the 1970s?

I dunno.

You’re right, communities are putting more demands on social gaming, particularly virtual worlds, but there needs to be more cross-platform content available and valuable to the overall gaming experience.

I envision a game that you can play simultaneously across personal computers or consoles (eventually browser based) in addition to phones and traditional printed media.

Once I can play a game, go somewhere and see advertising for completely virtual world-based products and then get a text message from an in-game character that enhances my gaming experience, I know I’ll be happy

I think it would be a shame if virtual worlds focused too much on just getting people in there vs. letting people create things with the 1′s and 0′s at their disposal once they do get there.

It’s why I like some of the things realXtend and others are doing to improve the means and the number of traditional 3d apps that are well supported for getting content in.
