Today I found in the spam mail an invitation to “the virtual world of gambling”.
PKR offers “the most advanced poker rooms, stunning 3D graphics” etc, with fully customizable avatars. I am wondering if they are aware they are selling two games at the same time.
Or maybe the virtual world medium has already become so transparent (a 3D avatar is already as obvious than an icon in a chat?) and the audience is already so blasé that the main attraction of PKR will be in fact playing poker?
If so, are we going to see 3D environments hosting cooking lessons, meditation, gardening and what not?
Anyway, I am not sure virtual worlds are automatically cross media, nor that they are automatically games, this is indeed a very grey area that need further investigation.
