Virtual cash
exchange goes live on BBC News (thanks Mike Martinez) discusses The Gaming
Open Market, which "allows players who control characters in games such as Star

Open Market.
The time thing is what gets me.
I'm competitive, and like kicking ass. With a MMORPG I need to invest significant time to be impressive, otherwise I'm just a drone.
I only have an hour a day to game. With an action game I can go on, whup ass for 45 minutes, and be the dominant player on the server.
It's not something I complain about, it's the nature of the beast, and why I avoid them. Being one of a few thousand identical characters doesn't interest me. I'm only out to be among the best.
