Me too! How does this differ from something like a multiplayer version of The Sims?

The other thing that came to mind was Philip K Dick's 'Days of Perky Pat' stories.

Shouldn't Gaming (like Films, TV and Books) be escapist? 'Kitchen Sink' drama doesn't appeal to me, and neither does this.

Though this Reuters report makes it sound at least like a small step towards the multiverse such as that in Neal Stephenson's 'Snow Crash'. I guess that is the reason for the excitement.
