Watch Out, he is a 60th level tax collector

I saw this story about how Virtual economies are attracting real-world tax attention. At first this idea seems a little odd to me. It feels like paying taxes on Monopoly money. The problem that the reality is very complex. There are real economies in there. I think this is a problem that can take a long time to figure out. Of course the issues might be totally different by the time they figure out this set of issues might be totally different. I am happy for tax collectors to be in games, as long as they are only collecting from the in-game currency.
