I am a video gaming journalist by day and an MMO anthropologist by night. The idea of massively multiplayer games fascinates me and I have a love for culture and people -- you will often find me surrounded by those strange virtual facsimiles of humanity often and I will probably ask you about why you chose that hairstyle.

Buying a video game is so 20th century. These days, it’s about buying into a video game. The game is just there to create a demand, the cash shop is there to fill that demand.
When players become content, throwing up a barrier to entry in the form of a price tag isn’t a good idea.
