Life as a Chinese Gold Farmer
Wed 04 Jul 2007 – 19.30
That’s right, I said Gold Farmer. For those who haven’t heard of this absurd new practice, the New York Times has an in-depth article about the young men who work 12-hour days playing World of Warcraft, harvesting virtual gold to be sold for actual currency.
What a strange paradox that one should suffer so much playing a game. Makes one think twice about a cubicle job pushing paper. Strange days indeed.
