It´s excenllent stroy. I have to say that in the first.
I read this stroy from the the website of rockpapershotgun.com by a chance. Before I read, I was just attracted by the title "Sex and The Sims" but after reading, I was moved.
In the article, the poster talked about real life ,virtual life, even love and sex.
When talked about The Sims Online, he said:" It´s here we focus on the real difference. As a design, The Sims Online tore the heart out of The Sims in its attempt to capture the massively multiplayer market. The original game is a true single-player experience, in that the vast majority of the entertainment comes from interacting with people who have to be computer-controlled. Befriending an awkward character through your Sims´ skills is a challenge. Befriending a Sim Online is a matter of just chatting to someone via the text interface, and if you hit it off pressing the ´Friend´ button. The former is a videogame. The latter is just human social life through an alternative route. Cyber-sex is reliant on there being another person involved, but with the shield of anonymity. The Sims, where it interacts with the brain, becomes interesting and enthrals, is because there is no other person there."
It´s an interesting theory, isn´t it?
