RE: gamer paid for this virtual weapon $ 61,000

in #gaming7 years ago

This reminds me of a story from a few years back where some dude spent over 600k on a virtual asteroid! https://singularityhub.com/2010/11/21/man-sells-virtual-real-estate-in-online-game-for-635000-wtf-video/#sm.0001owub5tua7dknrmx1inuhrnnoy

Not that it would be worth it, but couldn't you buy the rights to have a real asteroid named after you for that money? At least that would give you a legacy. Of course, I feel like I'd be a lot happier, and a better person, if I donated that money to a charity instead. You know, eliminate poverty in a town, suicide prevention, maybe an orphanage or something.
