The point he was trying to make is a lot of people think like that, it's unfortunate. We live in
a system where the worst kind of people can stand on top of us because they can do things like
this without remorse and only for the sake of profit.
I'm not here to /pol/ it up it's just a tried practice that keeps happening over and over and

VR is stupid anyhow without a gigantic room allowing you to be suspended in the same place and

personally if I got these options:
+ maybe 20 billions in 3 years after much hard work
+ guaranteed 2 billions now with no work
i would pick the guaranteed 2 bill. first of all i dont need much more than that, second of all

Information on the internet traverses time by 48 hours to days.
You can see things on the fleeting internet that is from 48 days in the future, or past and it
doesn't really change anything at all.
4chan users would be the only ones in the world with any awareness of this at all though. Even if
they are, there is no way to utilize this information.
I heard about Oculus VRift $2b Facebook going down the drain a month ago with this flash. In this
very thread.
Information reorganizes a lot. You didn't think all information in your life and the world was
100% new fresh content, did you?

I'm seriously challenging this notion that "social networking" makes other aspects of life more
sociable. It's like having a career fair and expecting people to land a job or remember
recruiters' names. Or hosting an anime convention and expecting a level of interaction above
nervous small talk or autistic arguing. Works in theory, not in practice. Somehow merging social
networking into gaming isn't going to magically bring conversations and relationships to
something that's supposedly lacking in it by nature. It's just going to make the game less of an
immersive experience.
But if you're unconvinced and still interested, I have this other game I'd like you to check out.
It's called Ingress. Not only is it free and massively multiplayer, but you're totally NOT doing
Google's handiwork and taking pictures for their streetview. Or constantly giving out your
location and travel habits. Or providing a collective, ad-hoc surveillance network for government
agencies. Really.
