Re: Wtf!!!!!
Yeah but you do the Chinese thing cause you know they aren't going to say shit, and if your assets are less in game next time they look say you bought some shit and deleted it.

Re: Wtf!!!!!
Actually, it's because someone COULD launder money in the games that allow direct exchanges of money for in-game things and vice-versa.
Keep in mind, games that allow such conversions can become a means of sustaining yourself, just like selling goods on eBay is a way to make enough money to live off of if you're good at it. At this point, it's a job...and why should someone who makes pretty pictures in a game be able to take money home tax-free while I have to pay those same taxes? The mention of WoW confuses the issue as WoW is purely a game. Many virtual economies do not fall under such an umbrella, and those are actually the ones being targeted. |

Would it still be possible? Sure...it'd be like laundering real money....move it through enough legitimate circles to the point that nobody can tell where it came from. |

Re: Wtf!!!!!
Yeah they have been unsuccessful so far and I doubt they ever will be in doing something like that.
That or just dont play on the games made by non-us companies. |

The smart thing to do would be "don't play games that tie in any way to the real world". |
