Show and Tell: Virtual Chinese Goldmines

All that is solid melts into air, even Gold.

It would be interesting if the Chinese workers could unionize and hold the players and companies hostage. Probably wouldn't work because the companies would have to change the game and inflate the money supply, so that all items are available to everyone. That would take the fun out for many gamers though.

It won't happen anyways because China has so many unemployed, and more importantly the government won't allow independent Unions.
