Latest Snowden revelation:  http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/09/tech/web/ ... ?hpt=hp_t2]NSA infiltrated WOW and Second Life to make sure terrorists weren't "hiding in plain sight".  They had so many spies in the games they had to set up a special group to make sure they weren't spying on each other.
Must be a great job, playing MMORPGs all day on the Government's dime.  Your tax dollars at work, people.
