I dont really think the kid was being serious.
He named a price which sounded extraordinary to him, like 10,000$ , challenging them to 'say yes if you have the balls'..
For the public and the press, though, it is not an extraordinary amount and they might have misunderstood his intentions. Had he said, "I need $20,000,000 to sell the domain, he would be out of the 'trap' laid for him.. Agree?
Graphics have become very realistic nowadays, and after the initial shock of "o_O WoW! this is so real!" every time you play a newer and better game..
You need the 'something more' which will stick you to the screen and glue your hand to the mouse.
See counterstrike for example-a '98 game [?-not sure-sorry!] with graphics of '98 but YET it is STILL a favorite of a LOT of people.. including me;o)
