    What if all in game currency that can be bought with money, was subject to currency laws and required to be audited and taxed.

    That would hopefully put an end to that crap.

      Huh. Taxed on what basis? You buy it with your already income taxed money, and the company reports it as income which is then again taxed? It’s like buying a gift voucher. Or maybe foreign currency, but usually you are only taxed on the gains once you sell them, but you can’t sell in-game currency… What else would you like to tax? What would you even audit? Hey tax authority, I have 3 million gold coins, 2486 diamonds and 4 speed ups in clash of clans, do you want screenshots? Do I just send you 10% to your clan?

      In-game currency is annoying and bad, but I don’t get what you want to do here.
