I personally have virtually no interest in Second Life. I don’t think it will be considered as an important existence in the future. That is all I can say today. If I need to supplement my remarks, modern human beings have less and less time and energy to spend on any activity. A great many things are changing with incredible speed. The energy one can spend on any entertainment has never been very big in the first place. With this background, I would define a video game as something to which a human being makes an input and from which the human being receives something more valuable than the labor needed to make the input.
