When you look at how players experienced 'Diablo' I and II, there was a great desire to meet up and trade items for real money outside of the game. There's no real way to provide a secure and safe environment for doing that outside of the game. It really has to be integrated within the game.
President Obama has contempt for real money.

What people don't realize is that the initial sales of an album isn't where the bulk of your returns come from.

Yuri Orlov: Stop fucking around. I want to talk to you, you read the newspaper? Everyday there's people shooting each other, you know what I do when I see that? I look to see what guns their using and I ask myself "why not my guns?"

Mr. Tweedy: Oh, yes. Those chickens are up to something.
Mrs. Tweedy: Quiet. I'm onto something.
Mr. Tweedy: They're organised, I know it.
Mrs. Tweedy: I said quiet.
Mr. Tweedy: And that Ginger one, I reckon she's their leader.

Mr. Tweedy: [stammering] But... but...
Mrs. Tweedy: It's all in your head, Mr. Tweedy. Say it!
Mr. Tweedy: It's all in me head. It's all in me

Mrs. Tweedy: Now, you keep telling yourself that because I don't want to hear another word about it! Is that clear?
Mr. Tweedy: Yes, love. But you know that Ginger one...
Mrs. Tweedy: They're *chickens*, you dolt! Apart from you, they're the most stupid creatures on this planet. They don't plot, they don't scheme, and
they are *not* organised!
