<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;"> **The appeal of a virtual environment is people want to play games that have a cool virtual environment. What's the point of making a game with great graphics and awesome variety if your environment is not up to par? Most games really focus on the virtual environments because of the importance of the appeal of the viewer's eye. The positive consequences of a virtual environment would have to be that they can be really cool and really fun to play. With that being said, the negative consequences can be that the game can get really addicting and ruin your life.**
