This is actually a very intertesting phenomena that probably will be extremely exploited in the "casual" media when they understand the ethical issues.
Suddenly crime does pay. I'm not concerned about violence in videogames but I am actually concerned about that the fact that people can use real currency in online games (not speaking about EVE atm). So you buy some stuff for real money, another person can then jump you, kick your ass, leave you bleeding and steal your stuff. He actually are robbing you of real money and that's totally legal.
The only thing that doesn't apply to the online world is that you get away without the physical pain such a beatup would cause you.
What do you think guys? I actually believe it's getting a little frightening that some people learn that crime does pay. How long until the "normal" media actually sees this and starts reacting?
