Gamer Sued Friend for Selling 10-Crore Worth Character at Rs.40,000

Gone are the days when people approach the courtroom for solving real-world legal disputes. In this modernistic age, a Chinese gamer has reportedly sued his friend and NetEase for selling his video game character worth Rs 10 crores for a throwaway cost of less than Rs 40,000.

According to the study, Lu Mou, the gamer who filed the complaint spent almost 10 million Yuan (~Rs. ten crores) for customizing his character in the game "Justice Online". He shared his ID with his friend Li Mouscheng so that he could too relish the game in Mou'due south cool outfit.

Mouscheng, nevertheless, betrayed Mou and sold the character on the in-game marketplace NetEase for 3,888 Yuan (~Rs. 40,000). Mouscheng was in fact trying to sell the character for 388,000 Yuan but he committed a typographical error every bit he was feeling "empty-headed from excessive gaming".

A Chinese court at Sichuan Province heard the case and released the judgment in favor of Mou. The courtroom ordered to render the game character to the original owner and asked the plaintiff to provide a compensation of ninety,000 Yuan (~Rs. 9 Lakhs) for the inconvenience caused to the gamer who bought the grapheme at cheap price. The court likewise warned people about the aftereffects of indulging likewise much in video games.

I would say Li Mouscheng broke the unwritten rule of the gamer code. I shouldn't simply betray the trust of a beau gamer equally Lu Mou was generous enough to share his costly character with him. I don't think he is going to share his credentials ever over again after this incident.
