The basis of the<\/span> classic James Bond film \u201cTomorrow Never Dies\u201d is an evil media mogul who instigates war between the U.K. and China because it will be great for TV ratings. There\u2019s been a wake-up call recently that our most popular social networks have been indirectly designed to divide populations into enemy camps and reward sensational content, but without the personal responsibility of Bond\u2019s nemesis because they\u2019re algorithmically driven.<\/p>\n

Virtual worlds can have advertisements within them, but the dominant monetization strategies in MMOs are upfront purchase of games and in-game transactions. Any virtual world that gains enough adoption to compete as a social hub for mainstream society will need to be free-to-play and will earn more money through in-world transactions than from ads.<\/p>\n
