You also basically described the movie The Game (with Michael Douglas). If you haven't seen it I suggest you check it out.

I always thought this was a cool idea. I'd imagine this couldn't effectively be done for less than a couple hundred thousand considering the number of people who would have to be working on this full time.

Great movie recommendation, thanks!

As for the full-time-ness? Yeah, totally. I think there's something to be said for big, serious roleplaying games which effectively can take up your entire life for a certain amount of time, and I think a lot of people would do it.

In some scenarios, it could be cheaper to do since you could involve multiple people in the same experience.
