  One guy gets a five year (2.5 yr with good behaviour) sentence...that's the dark web shut down then.

  i dont understand what are you hinting at?  Are you saying devs/publishers are criminals? No way!
  
  But seriously, another yellow press BS?! This has nothing to do with Game.
  
  This is what turns Games into crap low quality products with high quality prices like we have now.
  Also you can easily find alot of BS like this, here:

  Why do i need to know all this BS, its police who should investigate that stuff and find out if its true or not.
  At this point its just stupid PR. Same you can find about any celeb. 
  
  Here example:

  Or you can just STOP give em money...if you really care - simple, its not like all millions of stupid kids will.

  This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

  Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

  LOL! Its a dark web marketplace mostly for drugs both pot and much harder stuff.  God I hate saying dark web as it just sounds so cheesy.  You can get other questionable stuff as well but never really looked to deep into anything other than weed for the wife before the medical law went into effect. 
  

  The dark web is more than 90% of what there is online.  It just means 'cut off from the rest'.  Things like bank accounts.  Nearly as cool as dark matter.
