After reading <a href=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7256069.stm>this</a> article I can agree some what with it's conclusions even if I'm not an economist. The basic premise applies both to online and real-life "supply and demand". Any one has other opinions about it.

The only difference I can see is that people might want to more radical risks within the game than in real life because it might appear that there's nothing to lose.
