    Virtual Gaming Economy: Trends 2022

Even the most fantasy worlds have a few things in common with the real world: people can own things and can usually sell them as well.

    In more popular games, some people begin to crave virtual items as much as real ones. This very real demand is...

    Nintendo apologized to fans for the delay.

    Earlier today, Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was delayed until Spring 2023. A very vague release window of "2022" was provided last year by Nintendo, but we really haven't seen nor heard much about this sequel for quite some time.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 may not even be the game's final name. The decision to just make a full-fledged sequel to 2017's original The Legend...
