This is all amazing but it makes me wonder if something is a bit crazy with these games. Why explore a universe created by some game company when you could be exploring the real universe by studying astronomy? Why try to earn money and gold in these games which although it can be turned into real money is part of a zero-sum game. Your win is their loss, why because there is no real value created in the game after all. In real life you can make money by creating a corporation which is not a zero-sum game because it brings value to both the owners and workers of the company and its customers.
I understand it can be much more fun in the game than the real life and that's why people do it, but I just wonder if it's just escapism, avoiding the challenges of the real world?
