Hope someone didn't beat me to it.

Now while I agree with taxing someone who sold their account, or sold gold for real money, I dont get how it is even feasibly possible to tax someone for something they will never ever physically own.

Then again I might have missread the article, which if that is the case feel free to make me feel like a dumbass.

Oh thats bullshit, we want to tax your virtual dollars.

aka

"If you make gold in WoW we want our cut!"

Like the guy said, if you transfer your credits to cash you have to report your earning to the IRS, if its not real money then it has no real value.
