You know that they allready do that...
Scenario:
I play game, i make ingame money, i withdraw that money
OR sell items INGAME for real life currency..
IF i make ENOUGH money, that is considderd an INCOME..
All incomes is TAXED...
That is if you live i sweden....The TAXHELL on earth....
That is the withdrawal of real currency that is being taxed. The issue pointed out here is the taxation of a currency that is currently outside of taxation, online currency. You can't withdraw an online currency and, say, buy a burger at McDonald's with it.

This is actually a great idea.
Video games are destroying productivity, attention spans, literacy, and social interaction.
I'm all for banning video games altogether.

and how will they directly tax me??
i play luminary:rise of the goonzu
the company itself is korean (hopefully north so greedy american tax man keeps away for fear of nukes lol)
but im curious will they tax my in game currency (marbles)
or the in game money we purchase to buy things from item mall (Gcoins)
the first one i dont understand how they will tax (ALL marbles belong to NDOORS inc and can be retained by company when it wishes)
that means they gotta ask some koreans for the tax money and they will be told no
(and they will comply since they are powerless in other countrys in regards to taxes) N Korea ftw!
now Gcoins what we pay our real money for is different
they will possibly tax us by making us pay more for same amount of Gcoins
or same price for less Gcoins than before taxes were introduced
technically the most profitable "gamer tax" would be charge people to use PSn and Xbox LIVE and tax what they pay
i dont play on either since i get more pleasure playing my online game that you can interact with others
(its free to play for life only pay money in when you need something to give yourself an advantage over other players)
luminarys best features are
crafting system (making stuff)
realistic economy (just no rich ass bankers calling the shots)
shareholder system (use your shares to call the shots and select leader of town)
various item system (thousands upon thousands of different ones)
skills system (can farm or fish or mine or train horses or anything really)
PVP (person vs person)
GVG (guild or clan vs guild or clan)
town seige (town vs town)
