- It's designed to exploit those who can't perform math calculations in their head. - Beryllium Jan 25, 11:50 5
  - Plus I bet there's a lot of points lying around that will never get used - Guigue Jan 25, 12:15
  - Cause ts alot easier to figure out 800 points is 10$ then to just charge 10$ -- nm - eag Jan 25, 11:53 3
    - People value money differently then they value points or casino chips. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 12:03
    - It decouples the cost of the virtual unit from the expense of real-world money -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 11:57 1
      - it's how Zunga makes so much money. $2 for a Farmville tractor is insane, but $100 Farmville dollars is a steal! -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 11:59
