Source text - Spanish La economía de los mundos virtuales
San Francisco, (EFE) — Tienen millones de miembros, leyes y normas propias y, cada vez más a menudo, su propia moneda: las redes sociales y otros mundos virtuales se han convertido en pequeñas economías que mueven ya más de mil millones de dólares online.
Juegos como World of Warcraft y redes como Facebook o hi5 son generalmente gratis para el usuario, pero sus miembros gastan cada vez más dinero en artículos y servicios virtuales que a menudo hay que pagar en divisas que sólo existen en Internet.
Los expertos resaltan que estos sitios se han convertido en economías virtuales que facturan cada vez más dinero a medida que los usuarios pasan más tiempo en ellos.
Según cálculos de la Universidad de Indiana, EEUU, los internautas gastan al menos 1.000 millones de dólares anuales en divisas virtuales, especialmente en las usadas en algunos juegos online como World of Warcraft.
La compra de divisas de la red es tan popular que está a punto de alcanzar a la publicidad como fuente de ganancias.
