I listened to this on the way to work the other day. Very interesting that people can make a living playing games and selling the virtual treasure that comes with it. There is controversy with it as those people playing the game for fun face inflation from these gold farmers. Just one more career that exists entirely online!
Listen to it here from NPR:
