I think it is more that the panel are ****ing idiots. They ones that make money in the game are actual tax paying companies. Well in WoW. Now you get into second life where you can actually make real money and has an equivalent monetary value, then yes. WoW money doesn't translate into real money. I don't know about the others but second life. You can purchase more money using actual money and exchange play money for real money. It is an actual own economy of fat lifeless souls.

Thats one of the stupidest things I've ever read. In-game assets are prevented from becoming real-world assets by the Terms of Service agreements that you have to consent to before installing the game. As such, if people want to spend their lives accumulating the best swords, helmets, etc in their games it means JACK SHIT to the government financially.

Meddling government assclowns...maybe they should spend more time trying to fix our ***damn deficit instead of screwing with video games.

they will fix the defecit by taxing MMORPG players obviously. It's much more effective than making rich people pay taxes...

i'm pretty sure that rich people do pay taxes. Isn't that what the 33% and 35% tax brackets are for?:bshot:
