Doctors play it, firemen play it, army men play it, women play it, so on so forth. Furthermore, I know plenty (including myself) who think that buying from the online store is rather ridiculous. Please don't stereotype us.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nicko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2010 1:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'World of Warcraft' Virtual Horse Nets $2 Million in Just Four Hours]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/17/world-of-warcraft-virtual-horse-nets-2-million-in-just-four-h/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/17/world-of-warcraft-virtual-horse-nets-2-million-in-just-four-h/</guid><description><![CDATA[Calling you out on your blatant sexism and stereotyping. Plenty of successful people play WoW, and the last stat I saw on the playerbase indicated that there are actually more female players than male. Stereotypes such as these(that gamers are losers and all male) immediately shut down communication about a really interesting story about the profitability of virtual goods. Games such as Second Life exist as a way for freelance designers to be able to make a living on virtual goods, and this article could have been an extension of that idea when the virtual goods are created and sold by the actual game company, for more than their monthly fee.<br><br>Really, I'm disappointed that you guys ran to insulting and stereotyping on a story that could have brought some really interesting discussion about our online culture.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PonTelon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 17th 2010 2:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'World of Warcraft' Virtual Horse Nets $2 Million in Just Four Hours]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/04/17/world-of-warcraft-virtual-horse-nets-2-million-in-just-four-h/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/04/17/world-of-warcraft-virtual-horse-nets-2-million-in-just-four-h/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another ignoramus posting about something he knows nothing about. <br><br>Bigoted and prejudiced people like this journalist just goes to show the weakness and worthlessness of (most, and especially free) online journalism.<br><br>This person should be fired.

I've never met a 30 yr old who lives in their moms basement while playing wow. Most the people that play it have full time jobs making 6 times as much as this poster. Seriously. If you confine yourself to unrealistic stereotypes with no backup evidence. You are far below anyone living in their mothers basement. Grow a pair, and be original.
