Inside a Virtual Sweatshop?

On the heels of Blizzard's gold farmer bans, The Observer has a story about a "virtual sweatshop" in Romania, where some workers are paid around $130 per month to play online games. "Although Ghirda works in Romania, the computers and the Internet connection he uses are paid for by a company in northern California. Gamersloot.net is one of a growing number of firms taking advantage of a boom in online computer games by opening 'virtual sweatshops,' using the low pay in poor countries to provide services for wealthy western players."
