According to a report by the Guardian, Chinese prisoners are being forced to slave away at MMORPGs. One such detainee claims he was one of 300 people required to play games such as World of Warcraft in 12-hour shifts. That time was spent generation in-game money which the prison guards sold to other players for real-world currency, earning them as much as $924 per day, according to the Guardian's source. Prisoners wouldn't receive any of that money and failing to comply resulted in punishment.

Sorry, I guess you're right. I didn't look at the date and I'm a little behind because I haven't called myself a gamer in a few years now. Still, it's an interesting story.

Another Chinese rant?!?! Just kidding:dancing: I'd rather have callouses on my thumbs and dream in virtual 3D than having egg rolls shoved up my butt. Just saying...

Shouldn't this be under "When bad things happen to good games?"

Happy Monday, y'all!!!!:party:

Yeah. It's just more evidence that they've been manipulating their currency. *rimshot*

If I became a gamer again, I wouldn't get any work done. I used to be hardcore 12-14 hours a day on SOCOM II and FFXI, and I went through a Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Battlefield 2 phase, but these days I have no time to play.

Hey, anyone want to send me their old XBOX (the white one)?
I never had a game console and I love playing the old games
