Would you buy that?
Who would pay $330,000 for a virtual space station? Or $100,000 for an asteroid space resort? How about $99,000 for a virtual bank license? Players of the massively multiplayer online (MMO) game called Entropia Universe did. Those players are making money, and so are the game developers. There’s a new business model—called “freemium”—driving the economics of these games. Under this model, users play for free but can purchase virtual goods with real money. Worldwide sales of virtual goods were $2.2 billion in 2009 and are predicted to reach $6 billion by 2013. Most virtual goods are inexpensive—costing about $1—such as the tractor you can buy in FarmVille or a weapon in World of Warcraft. That doesn’t seem like much, but when you consider that game-maker Zynga’s FrontierVille had 5 million players within one month of launch, we’re talking real money! Are there ethical issues with the sale of virtual goods? What are some of these potential issues?

Ethical/Legal Issues
We are all familiar with online courses in college? Many students are, but some traditional brick-and-mortar universities are venturing into uncharted territory by outsourcing the teaching function to online providers. Missouri State University is offering its introductory journalism class through Florida-based Poynter Institute, which is a non-profit journalism training group. Instructional outsourcing is popping up on campuses throughout the country, and most are serviced by for-profit companies such as Academic Partnerships, StraighterLine, and Smarthinking. These partnerships translate into bigger profit margins for both the university and the instructional partner. Discuss the pros and cons of outsourcing instructors for courses or even entire degrees from the point of view of both the school and the students. Should technology be used in this way to deliver this type of product? Are there any ethical or potential legal issues?
