"Who exactly pays for virtual tools to grow a better virtual garden or to slay a virtual dragon, you ask? Plenty of people, despite what Zynga's IPO tells you. A man in China, for example, recently spent $16,000 for a virtual sword on a game that has not even been released yet. "Age of Wulin," by California-based company Snail Games, has not even been released on mainland China but that isn't stopping some from spending serious cash on the game. The game is a role-playing one that is set in ancient China and is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or better known as MMORPGs. The man is not alone in his purchases. A study released earlier in the year valued the virtual economy for MMORPGs is $3 billion."

, some people have too much money... however on the bright side the money came from China and into the US, so at least we can imagine manufactured goods and sell them to morons.

Well the Chinese have to spend all their new found wealth on something. Might as well be imaginary swords.
