He makes an interesting point though that the game explicitly supports a two-way exchange market of in-game currency and US dollars (i.e. you can buy L$ for US$ and sell L$ for US$ through their Web site). If the game creator can arbitrarily freeze accounts that is real money that is being locked up.
But if the company is facilitating the transaction and encouraging people to spend money on virtual property, why shouldn't owner of said virtual property expect to not have the property stolen by the company. I hate virtual property. I hate the people who sell virtual property then rip off the buyers and say "It's not real, it doesn't count" even more.
What kind of a moron buys virtual property for investment purposes?
Sheesh.
I'll be surprised if this case gets beyond a summary judgment (against him, of course).
There is a guy in Miami who was recently in the news. He rents property on a Space Station he bought in some game run out of the Netherlands. He clears around 12k US$ a month he said in rental fees.
He is hoping once his night club and other things open he will double that.
