Play money???

I have just now finished the first part of Play Money. So far I'm confused and I do not find the book to be that interesting at all. Before I started reading I was excited to see what this book had to offer because the title actually interested me. After the first few chapters I'm not all that interested. I think it's crazy people pay an insane amount of money for a house on the internet that is not even real. I mean good for the people that are selling this virtual loot and making money, but you buyers in my opinion are wasting your money. Maybe you have to become involved in an online game like this before you can judge it. I don't know, but as of now I feel it's a waste of money. I'm hoping the book becomes more interesting as we read on because I really don't want it to drag out and read something that's not enjoyable. I'm going to continue to read with an open mind and hope that at some point it becomes interesting to me.
