There goes the neighborhood.

We scream about games scanning our PCs for hacks and system information, just think what will happen when the Feds start scanning to see how much virtural money you made in a game.

What is next?  Virtural IRS to virtually audit our in game character?

How about virtural police to catch game hackers and virtual prisions to lock em up!

How about instead of going after the little guy, you and me, how about they go after the overseas BUSINESSES that are making millions selling online gold and items and ruining games.

Oh, right, they can't can they.  Different international laws, different governments, so might as well nickel and dime the peasents.

I feel sorry for those just now entereing the virtual gaming world.  You never will have the freedom (and fun I might add), that we old timers did, before farming bots, before gold sellers, before greed and selfishness really entered into the gaming world.
