The Sims Online & "Open Source" Gaming Models
One of my old friends sent me a recent story from Business2 that talks about online gaming, combined with The Sims Online and community involvement in a game. It's not a very substantive piece, but a good discussion starter.
And anyway. Isn't Linux, effectivly an open source game. A lot of people here seem to have fun 'playing' with it. Rather than actually using it for a 'real-world' productive use.
