Source text - English When it began it was just a computer game. Now it is seen as a cultural force that sparks love affairs, breaks marriages and creates “sweat shops” to satisfy a black market in virtual goods.
World of Warcraft marks its fifth birthday today as something more than just an online role-playing game where users become wizards, warriors, orcs and elfs.
“It has had an enormous cultural impact,” said Tom Chatfield, author of Fun. Inc, a book about the growth of the games industry. “It has proved that online gaming can make huge profits, making a billion in revenue a year. It has proved that gaming could be for a truly global audience.”
Analysts say that its popularity has paved the way for other blockbuster games. This month Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, made a record-breaking $500 million (£303 million) within 24 hours of its release.
Translation - Swedish När allt började var det bara ett dator spel. Nu ses det som en kulturell kraft som gnistrar kärleks affärer, bryter äktenskap och skapar sweatshops* för att tillfredsställa en svart marknad av virtuella produkter.
World of Warcraft markerar sin femte födelsedag idag som någonting mer än bara ett online rollspel där användare blir magiker, krigare, orcher och alver.
”Det har haft en enorm kulturell effekt,” sa Tom Chatfield, utgivare av Fun. Inc, en bok om tillväxten av spelindustrierna. ”Det har bevisats att online spel kan ge stor vinst, skapa en billion i intäkter per år. Det har bevisats att spelande kan vara för en verkligen global publik.”
Analytiker säger att dess popularitet har stenlagt vägen för andra blockbuster** spel. Denna månad gjorde Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, en rekordbrytande inkomst på $500 miljoner inom 24 timmar efter det släppts.
* ”Sweatshop” betyder butik eller fabrik, där arbetstagarna gör långa dagar och där arbetsförhållandena är dåliga.
** ”Blockbuster” betyder ”Kassasuccé” det vill säga att spelet tjänar mycket mer än vad det kostade att tillverka.
