Thus, "users optional".

FreeCiv for example can run on full-auto, no players required.

So maybe the whole multiverse / metaverse should in principle be able to do so too.

HELL, yeah. I'm down with that.

Maybe the Galactic Milieu is a Venture Capitalist, and each and every Organic Peripheral that connects to it is a prospective Venture! :)

So the Metaverse is a Venture Capitalist because its the program that makes money by running the software...

And the input that connects to the GM is the commands being input through the device giving commands (like manually playing the game and moving, performing, as such as if pushing controller buttons corded to a console?).

Interesting. How much money in VC have we made for Devcoin :)
