$1,200 in relative terms is a HUGE amount of money in China!!
I mean it is all pretty nerdy but this was obviously a serious hobby. But the poor guy didn't get any damages.. just his virtual "toys" restored. This would have cost the company nothing to add it to his registration data.
What is even more nerdy are the hackers who built a program to steal virtual toys.
Can no-body else see how "tragic" the whole thing is???
