i mean, it's just the same as getting paid cash money. these folks were going to spend it on gaming anyway.

CB: And virtual gaming has use-value for them, it fulfills a want; that the want springs from fancy, makes no difference.

"A commodity is, in the first place, an object outside us, a thing that by its properties satisfies human wants of some sort or another. The nature of such wants, whether, for instance, they spring from the stomach or from fancy, makes no difference.[2] Neither are we here concerned to know how the object satisfies these wants, whether directly as means of subsistence, or indirectly as means of production. "
