I'm okay with drastically modifying the core economy, but this is nothing like a car. Cars cost tens of thousands of dollars. Cars require gasoline, insurance, maintenance, etc. Cars serve a very real and practical purpose: transportation. They allow people to go to work, school, the doctor, the supermarket, and other places in a reasonable amount of time. Cars must follow standards of safety to ensure the greatest likelihood of survival in an accident. If a car has a major flaw, people could actually die. They don't recall cars because they use too much gasoline to get from A to B. People trade in cars they don't like, or that don't fit their financial situations or environmental stance, and they get a new or different car. What we're talking about is a $60-160 (depending on expansions purchased) piece of software that you put into a $200-$400 console for virtual entertainment and social communication. Nothing like a car.

  • Cars and games are different in degree. Not in kind.

    I respectfully disagree. Let me give you a direct analogy. I bought Sea of Thieves, a live game, tried it for a while, and realized it's not really for me. It was not quite what it was hyped up to be. So I quit reading the forums and developer updates, and I quit playing the game. And I haven't looked back. I cut my losses and moved on, while the people who like what it is and like what the devs are doing with it are free to continue playing it.

    First they are fundamentally different. Second That's just a convenient excuse.
