I would say the mmo industry is undergoing a gradual (r)evolution... its going from the traditional P2P (pay to play) model to F2P (free to play) one. Also the quality of F2P games are going up which leads to attracting a lot more casual mmo players who feels F2P are better for them because they are not pressured to play the game the are subscribed to.

Actually this case is more like taxing services since the product is a "service" (there's no real item involved). Actually many game companies in the US is already starting to tax their games... NCSoft is one such company.

Wow.. this is interesting news...
I like stylistic artwork... I don't know why but I just like it more than "realstic "styles. Maybe it's why I like anime more.
This is actually a great move by the chinese government. Being that virtual item sales has become a billion dollar business this is potentially huge income for the government. I wish the US government would adopt such measures to reduce the sagging national deficit (which is growing into a 2.9 trillion dollar deficit by 2011 if nothing is done about it). But yeah this is like a pinprick to an elephant but at this time anything will help.
