An official monitor in the online role-playing game Second Life told BBC News in April that he knows of spouses of game players who have actually paid money to online-game detectives to learn whether their mates are committing ”virtual adultery” with other players’ characters in the course of the game. (Second Life encourages players to create a character and live out a made-up existence, which can of course include having an affair with another player’s made-up character.)
