I want to see a major MMO start offering modding tools that let indie developers make mods that people can play for some small sum of money -- say, somewhere between free and a dollar. I think it could really take off if the modding tools were flexible enough and the mods cool enough. Small profit margins, large audiences, and tiny marginal costs are where it's at.
Installing new games and learning how to play them is work. Making a game you already like be bigger and better could be a profitable business.

- gnaritas 18y ago2nd life isn't a game, it's an online world, vastly different thing. There's nothing to play, there are no goals, nothing, it's just a world; you go there to socialize with others in the world.
- njharman 18y agoThere is lots to play. People make games. People play games, http://slgames.wordpress.com/ http://slgames.wordpress.com/ There are active RPG groups. Star Trek, Harry Potter I've heard about. Basically virtual world LARPing with kick-ass interactive props that don't need to obey laws of physics. There is nothing stopping anyone from creating games in 2nd Life. It's exactly what you asked for mod tools. It's all mod tools. It's all up to you. Games esp mmo's are mostly socializing. It's just a world. Geez, only a world. Like saying its just reality there's only sticks and rocks here, no games. Pick up the damn rock and hit it with a damn stick. Have a modicum of imagination.
