Wouldn't that only be in true if he didn't play at work? If he hand-farmed all that gold, that was on his free time. Thus "spending your time instead of working to earn money" doesn't really apply..?
Sorry I'm confused :P
When in-game currency holds a USD value, it's the same as the dollar you would have spent. I'm not sure what you don't understand right now. If I had "whatever" worth $20.00 USD, you have 2 options. You can find a way to sell it for, let's say, a gift card worth $20, you can than sell that gift card on Ebay or go use it for your groceries or whatever. However you look at it, that currency was worth $20.
I'm breaking this down for no reason because you will ignore the point here.
The WOW gold woulnd't have been given a "$50,000" value if it wasn't worth that, in USD. He had 2 options. He could have cashed it out real world trading or did what he did. He chose to trade it off for Diablo Immortal.
I wouldn't have done what he did. He could have bought a nice car.
EDIT: It doesn't matter HOW he gained the currency. Why does that effect the value of it? If a pimp made a woman bring him $1,000, does that mean that $1,000 is worth less or nothing? I don't get how you don't get it.
