Although many western MMO gamers profess distaste for all things RMT in Kal Online, it is definitely become an aspect of these games and virtual worlds that we are all aware of kal geons to some degree. But it was not always that way.
Dibbell has continued on with this tradition since the days of writing about Black Snow Interactive, more recently in his book 'Play Money' and with a piece he was written for Wired, titled The Decline and fall of an Ultra Rich Online Gaming Empire.
In fact, it was not so long ago that the notion of people working in virtual settings and earning real world wealth was, quite frankly, bizarre.
Julian Dibbell was one of the first journalists to expose the idea of RMT and the possible existence of virtual sweatshops to mainstream readers’ years ago, before such ideas and practices became almost commonplace in virtual worlds and MMOs.
We will make crappy MMO's that have no storyline, require you to grind FOREVER, pay real kalonline geons for items in our SUPA-MALL or your toon will be gimp. We will let bots in the game and do nothing about it because we really don't care and want you to shop at the SUPA-MALL so please download our game...but we recommend the SUPA-MALL after level 5.
