Almost certainly. I'd say Project Entropia is also screwed, but that is literally a casino of a game, so as long as there are players, they'll be making money. Second Life is more worrying, though. Both games let you "cash out" your funny money to real money, but Entropia literally functions as a casino, where SL is more like a full economy
