Sony Gets Real on Virtual Goods

I never thought I would see this day. Most game companies shun this like the plague.. but maybe it makes sense.

“Sony Online Entertainment, the developer of massively multiplayer online games like EverQuest and Star Wars Galaxies, is the first major U.S. publisher to facilitate the buying and selling of virtual goods.”

At Station Exchange, you will be able to buy and sell ingame items for real cash, and it’s secure. While I don’t necessarily agree with this, I would rather the actual game company do this rather than seeing other companies thrive on it. Going to be fun to see how this plays out..
