It takes the concept of a fantasy life to a whole new (sick, sad, and disturbing) level.
And I'm perversly fascinated by it. I can very easily see how this can become a problem for people very quickly.

There are already a large number of people that have difficulty telling reality from their fantasy worlds. This certainly creates an alternate "reality" for them.

I am severely interested, because it is a free signup, and the possibilty to earn extra income is there. I'm not sure how, yet, but I will give it hell for trying. It'* something I can do while I watch baby girl Sajak to possibly earn some extra cash, no matter how small the amount. THAT is why I'm interested. One of the fantasy businesses was "automotive manufacturer". Surely that'* got something in it

That is why I haven't gotten into it.

There'* only so much time in the day

The idea itself does seem kinda cool, and making money would be awesome, but I could definitely see it causing problems too.
