Man kann sehr viel Geld in Game of War versenken, auch das ist allgemein bekannt. Ein US-Amerikaner trieb es nun wohl auf die Spitze und verzockte 1 Million US-Dollar in dem Mobile Game. Das Problem an der Sache? Es war nicht sein eigenes Geld, welches er in spezielle Armeen und Gegenst\u00c3\u00a4nde in Game of War steckte. Insgesamt betrog er seinen Arbeitgeber um satte 4,8 Millionen US-Dollar. Der 45-j\u00c3\u00a4hrige aus Kalifornien arbeitet als Controller f\u00c3\u00bcr Holt California, einem Baumaschinenhersteller. Er hat nicht nur Firmengelder veruntreut, um sich Vorteile im erfolgreichen Mobile Game Game of War zu erkaufen, sondern sich auch pers\u00c3\u00b6nlich weiterzuentwickeln oder zu ver\u00c3\u00a4ndern. Das zumindest l\u00c3\u00a4sst uns aus den veruntreuten Geldern f\u00c3\u00bcr plastische Chirurgie vermuten. Und nat\u00c3\u00bcrlich braucht ein gut aussehender, erfolgreicher Game of War-Spieler auch teure Autos und exklusive Mitgliedschaften in elit\u00c3\u00a4ren Clubs. Mit Geld kann man sich nicht nur im virtuellen Leben, sondern auch im realen Leben Erfolg und Ansehen kaufen &#8211; so wohl die \u00c3\u0153berlegung vom Spieler. Insgesamt werden ihm acht F\u00c3\u00a4lle von \u00c3\u0153berweisungsbetrug und drei F\u00c3\u00a4lle von Geldw\u00c3\u00a4sche vorgeworfen und es drohen ihm bis zu 20 Jahre Haft. Mit seinem Gest\u00c3\u00a4ndnis will er nun auf einen Vergleich hinaus, um die Haftstrafe zu verhindern. Game of War von Machine Zone gilt als ein Spiel in der F2P-Branche, bei dem besonders viel Geld f\u00c3\u00bcr virtuelle Gegenst\u00c3\u00a4nde und Bilder ausgegeben werden kann und f\u00c3\u00bcr das auch besonders viel Geld in Form von Werbung f\u00c3\u00bcr das Spiel ausgegeben wird. Der Hersteller platzierte unter anderem Fernsehwerbung auf den teuersten Werbepl\u00c3\u00a4tzen \u00c3\u00bcberhaupt, dem Super Bowl. Im Schnitt 550 Dollar pro Jahr pro Spieler wird in dem Mobile Game f\u00c3\u00bcr verg\u00c3\u00a4ngliche Boosts, Gegenst\u00c3\u00a4nde und Armeen ausgegeben.<\/p><div class=\"newss-content\" id=\"newss-3918910829\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2582020599\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><div class=\"newss-article-1\" id=\"newss-1105939982\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Homepage2 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7733425960004873\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2582020599\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ein US-Amerikaner war von Game of War anscheinend so begeistert, dass er im Laufe der Zeit eine Million Dollar in das Spiel steckte,&#8230; Mehr auf Newsslash.com!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":21974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Begeisterter Fan verzockt 1 Million Dollar in Game of War - Newsslash<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Begeisterter Fan verzockt 1 Million Dollar in Game of War - Newsslash\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ein US-Amerikaner war von Game of War anscheinend so begeistert, dass er im Laufe der Zeit eine Million Dollar in das Spiel steckte,...
