Virtual finance is a branch of game design theory which is concerned with monetary aspects of virtual worlds, such as massively parallel multi-user games. Like real finance, virtual finance is concerned with issues like inflation, money forgery and convertibility of virtual monies.
Famous quotes containing the words virtual and/or finance:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“A bank is a confidence trick. If you put up the right signs, the wizards of finance themselves will come in and ask you to take their money.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
