A Florida man has sued IGE over the company's third-party virtual currency business in World of Warcraft. The lawsuit, on behalf of all WoW players, claims that their action devalues the assets of all World of Warcraft players.
Speculating here, but this could be an interesting case if it comes down to a question of whether or not these are truly assets. If they are assets, that might be interesting for those who believe the government should tax virtual assets. If they are not in fact assets, then there was nothing for IGE to devalue.
