breaking rocks is bad enough... but being forced to play WoW all day is just inhumane.

"the practice of building up credits and online value through the monotonous repetition of basic tasks in online games "... sounds like mining.

"...that prison guards would then trade for real money..." besides the forced labor part it seems like a sweet deal.

"In April, the Sichuan provincial government in central China launched a court case against a gamer who stole credits online worth about 3000rmb."
I wonder if there are court cases about EVE gamers where some have stolen ISK amounts that are technically worth much more than 300-400 pounds.
