Question: Is Second Life a Game? ,[object Object],Answer: No but it contains games.

Community of Gamers/Learners “ Gamers come to virtual worlds because in them they find more than a game, they find other gamers. They come to compete with each other, to collaborate with each other, to learn from each other, to profit from each other, to talk to each other in the game, at the coffee machine at work or in chat rooms on the Internet.” Ludlow, P. and Wallace, M.
