Zhang Ping: The "gold ingot" of the trading online game is black, and the power is right?

Some players in Zhangping City, Fujian Province were pulled by the buyer when they handed the "Golden ingots" when they traded the "gold ingot". So, how to safeguard your own rights?

Guan Mou and Cao met through the game. In early December 2021, Cao purchased 3,600 yuan of game coins "gold ingots" from WeChat. In the month, Guan Mou delivered a total of 60 "gold ingots" to Cao Mou, but Cao pushed off the payment of the payment for various reasons. Because Cao did not give the agreed price in a timely manner, Guan Mou sued Zhangping People's Court and asked to order the sales contract between the original defendant; he asked the defendant Cao to pay the plaintiff's officer to pay 3,600 yuan for the arrears.

The court's trial believes that "virtual assets" occur on the network trading platform and are not banned by law. In this case, the "gold ingot" transferred by Guanmou is the "virtual assets" of the network. Guanmou has the right to dominate and return in accordance with laws and regulations in accordance with laws and regulations. After Guan Mou completed his supply obligation, Cao should pay the official payment of 3,600 yuan.

Judge said: Nowadays, online games are booming, and the standardization and protection of the sale of virtual property between online game participants has become a new challenge in the field of information in the information age.

There are three main categories of virtual property in online games: one is the medium that connects virtual space and real space, that is, game accounts; second, general equivalent of transaction payment in online games, that is, game coins; third, game props, such as game characters, such as game characters Weapons, equipment, skin, etc.

The "gold ingots" in this case belong to the general equivalent of the online game, which is used to meet people's entertainment needs in online games. It can be measured through real currency. It has the attributes and characteristics of property. The category of goods can be used as the target in the sales contract. The legal trading contract should be protected by law. The parties should abide by the principles of honesty and credit, and fulfill their obligations in accordance with the agreement. If the defendant fails to perform the contract, he shall bear the liability for breach of contract.
