The Greenskin: RMT in MMORPGs (Star Wars: The Old Republic?)
Again though, I don’t see these issues occurring in a game put out by EA and Bioware. Past RMT games may have sucked, but what companies were putting them out? The most notable is probably Sony Online Entertainment with The Agency, but I have two things to say to that: 1) The game isn’t out yet s...
