Sony takes MMOs in a bad direction for gamers.

[Assur]

Sony's response at the end of the article now proves that Sony endorses the idea of some folks paying other folks to play a game for them.  Next, I suppose, the CEO of Sony will hire someone to roger his wife for him.  Or is that a slippery slope assumption?

I think it's a slippery slope B) The people who pay people to play the game for them on the other hand might take you up on that offer :whistling:

I think this is more along the lines of legalizing prostitution to have greater control over it.

Well it's a little more than that, in my opinion. And no, this wasn't influenced by today's Penny Arcade comic (the Visa Crucible!). I think it's obvious that Sony stands not only to have a little more control but seriously cash in on this big e-business.

Unless this turns out to be wildly successful, I don't care. It's not likely to have a huge impact on the rest of the gaming circle, just Sony's own little universe. I pity the fool (sorry!) who buys items on-line.
