I guess its just a matter of expectation/perception of how many people are willing to give $20 to someone they've never met to play an online game.
i would not be willing to give $20 to someone ive never met. even if i did meet lack i wouldn't pay him. I dont seem to get that "warm fuzzy feeling" he describes. After all, as sully800 said, its only a website, an online game.
Interesting...so how many of the people have you meant at the electric company that supplies the power to your house...how about the internet service that you utilize to be on here...water?...credit card?...bank?....Lack basically provides a service much like those listed...interesting.

Thats a fair comment jaybebo i dont know any of them personally. the difference is they are all companies to whom i can visit, to whom i can complain if my water gets cut off for no reason etc.
Your looking at it from the wrong angle though. I quoted sullys words there - "how many people are willing to give $20 to someone they've never met to play an online game."
The quote includes 3 elements:
1) Paying $20
2) to someone ive never met
3) to play an online game
You've only looked at number 2. Im sure you can find fault with my initial paragraph above telling me i can contact Lack but i ultimately STILL dont want to pay $20, to play an online game.
And that, in the words of a criminal mastermind, is known as "spin"
