Newsmaker: A midsummer night’s virtual world is an interview on CNET news with Edward Castronova about the MacArthur Foundation grand he got to develop an online game, “Arden: The World of Shakespeare.” The game is not about the world Shakespeare lived in – it is a world based on his plays and it will be designed to study the social science of game worlds. Interesting … I wonder if it will work as an idea.
Thanks to Bart for this.
