A 54-year-old prisoner at the Jixi labour camp in the northern province of Heilongjiang said he was forced to play games on the internet in order to build up credit that was traded by his guards for real money, a practice known as “gold-farming”

that is completely f'd up

those guards are doing it wrong

the exploitation and the taking someting that was created for amusement ,joy and turning it into work and something painful.

That makes me angry.

I'd like to get my hands on those greedy, bullying nazilike gaurds and do really bad things to them until they were truly sorry.

they need to pay a penence..atonement

then they could start fresh and do it right next time

Damn I wished I had someone to do that sh*t for me when I was raising my Chocobos on Final Fantasy VII. That sh*t takes longer than the whole game does, :)
