I suppose, I just heard about the vastness of the old WoW gold farming economy semi recently, the amount of money going through that kind of stuff is just mind boggling.
I read about some online game that had gold, and these hackers learned to fabricate it after compromising the system, and were selling it to players, is that what you are referring to? That was a long time ago, not sure exactly, over 10 years though.
Huh, interesting. I tried to find the article about the hackers, could not get it on enshittified search, pretty sure it was in Harper’s Magazine. I think the hackers were in se asia or something but forget.
