Crimes of the 21st Century

2012-06-17 20:30:03.090644+02 by petronius 0 comments

In order to combat a major element of teenage crime, the South Korean govenment is outlawing commerce or harvesting of virtual objects for computer games. There is also some indication that part of the intention is to get kids back to their books instead of gold farming. Reason predicts a big black market, but I think we will find the NorKs following in the footsteps of the Chinese gulag, forcing prisoners to do the harvesting.
