Steve Bannon used to be CEO of a World Of Warcraft gold-farming company

5. People with more money than sense?

People who have to make everything into a competition, and who have to come out on top all of the time (Boss Tweet comes to mind)? People who can't tell the difference between a game world and reality?

I've recently started playing Pokemon Go (yeah, literally late to the game), which lets users buy all sorts of stuff (with real money) so they can have the best surrogates and WIN! absolutely nothing other than bragging rights. Since it also rewards players for walking 5 or 10 km it's my goad to get out for some exercise every day. It makes a routine walk mildly more amusing.

ETA: if you want a slightly fictionalized view of on-line gaming, I recommend Cory Doctorow's "For the Win": it's published as a young adult novel, and one of the plot threads is about a company exploiting young gold farmers in China.
