re: Would you buy a shirt that you would not physically own?

Actual simulation

It’s a neat idea. How much of people’s lives are wrapped up in social media. Plenty of Instagram models taking pics with borrowed/loaned clothes. If you could have someone “dress” you in stuff solely for the picture to be used online, isn’t this something like the equivalent?

Watch it blow the hell just because people want to show that they afford $700 for absolutely nothing. It's no different than spending $1000 on a Gucci handbag just to put your car keys in

This stupidity is for Hollywood; they're the only ones retarded enough to buy shite like this

Gaming companies figured this out years ago. Yes, people will pay top dollar for digital items. Fortnight rakes in about $2 billion a year mostly by selling costumes, hats, and dance moves.

I think the chauffeur for my butler’s gardener may have made such a purchase.

$4000/month and I'll MS Paint photos and selfies of you hanging loose in your plush luxury apartment overlooking the beautiful New York skyline.

You joke, but this is exactly what I thought. Not that we are trapped in a sim created by our A.I. oppressors, but we are actually creating it and willingly plugging ourselves into it.

I haven’t played a video game since the early days of SEGA, so it blew my mind when, I guess about 20 years ago now, a friend of mine bragged that he could sell his Everquest character for about $2k. This dude dove into the SIM 25 years ago and has only come up for air a few times for essentials. He did switch from Everquest to WoW with the masses, apparently.

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.
