  13. Escapism on When Is a Con Not a Con? · · Score: 1

    The whole point in playing games is to provide an arena to explore things you wouldnt normaly do in real life.

    After all robbing a bank in City of Villians doesnt mean you should be jailed.

    Lets face it, EVE is responsible for allowing people to start virtual banks without any regulations

    Every game or virtual reality designates its own set of rules for playing within that system, and lets face it , all these online games are all based in capitlalism anyways, and therefore there companies wont change anything unless it effect the bottom line

    While this scheme is illegal in the real world, in this virtual world there are obviously no rules programmed in, else he would never have been able to pull off this scam.

    So do you blame the character living in the universe, or the creators of the universe for allowing this to happen?

    Both?

    Lets face it, its not cheating, its not cool, but its a part of the game dynamic
