>>I occasionally pay $7 for a movie, but that's for a really good one,
and I usually go on a date<<

Going to the movies is more expensive over here, Greg.  Plus, on a date, you've
got the popcorn and the drinks and the nachos and the drinks afterwards...
Plus, Marie and I (she's my partner) tend to go and see three films on the trot
(thats a bit of an acquired taste, I know, but we're movie fanatics, the pair
of us).  So a night at the movies can easily cost about $80. <grin>  Exception
to the rule though, I rather expect.

>>If people made better games I might be more interested in paying to play
them. <<

There are some fantastic games out there that you can pay to play.  But your
idea of 'better' wont be the same as everybody elses.  I could introduce you to
a great many players who would say our games were the best ever made, but then
you might play them and hate every minute of it.  *Better* is such a personal
thing.

>>Most of the
pissing and moaning about how hard it is to get people to pay tends to
ignore that aspect.<<

I dont find it hard to get people to pay to play games at all.  Really rather
easy, in fact.

>>Now how you could combine dating and pbm gaming, that's a definite
money-maker...<<

We have had a game called "the Ultimate Sex Game" which we made a few years ago
on ice for ages.  We made it as a bit of a joke and then found it was quite fun
to play.  It involves competing on a series of 'virtual dates' with the other
players.  However, we've never released it because its really rather tacky...
<grin>
