That Gaming Site writes: "The real world just isn't real enough anymore. Gone is our attachment to the earth, when human beings had to subsist on what we could create, sell or find. Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution we have hurtled into a new age: an age powered by rapidly accelerating technological discovery; an age where many of the tasks that kept us tied to the heartbeat of the natural world have become redundant. In the 21st century we no longer build our own homes, hunt, grow crops or travel for days on end to reach markets to sell our goods. In this century we commute to work, live in comfortable apartments and enjoy a measure of free time unequalled by any society recorded in the pages of history."

Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.
"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"
No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol
"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"
Ouch!
Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000
WTF...?!
Living, breathing, multi-world Entropia Universe continues to bridge the gap between virtual and real with its newly launched virtual stock exchange. Earlier this month, Crystal Palace Space Station, the first company to be listed on the market, saw all of its shares claimed in less than 48 hours, marking the first time in the game’s 16-year history that shares in a privately-held estate were offered to the entire playerbase of Entropia Universe.
Entropia Universe is the largest Real Cash Economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world, offering players the ability to participate in a unique virtual world where they have no monthly costs.
This game seems to be up there with Eve Online in terms of hardcore dedication for a game and the potential real word influence it could have!
Like Eve Online is big anyways.
