EVE Online
has a reputation for having in-game crimes happen left and right. Most
of it's even condoned since crime is an inherent part of the game's
virtual economy. It's a different ball game when players actually take
the virtual cash they steal and sell them for real world money, however.

Superannuation is reporting that
Blizzard filed three trademark
registrations for the title "Cataclysm". What is it? Nobody knows for
sure yet, but the trademark did indicate that it covers "computer
games, paper-based products (comic books, trading cards, coloring
books), and online games." Sounds like they're getting ready to build a
merchandising empire with this one.

We may not have seen it at E3, but it looks like
David Perry is finally
ready to show off his game streaming service, Gaikai, to the public. In
a new video posted on his own website, Perry demonstrates how GaiKai
handles, running games like
Spore,
World of Warcraft, and an emulated
Mario Kart 64 on a standard computer with a home cable connection. Check out the video after the jump. It's pretty impressive.

Keen on curbing the growing industry of Gold Farming in online games like the famous
World of Warcraft,
China has now set up a leaner definition of the terms "gold farming" as
well as officially banning its practice, and limiting the use of
virtual currency only for virtual goods and services.
