The couple played the online games under the ID the husband had registered. In court, the wife asked for her share of the virtual assets they earned in the game, but the husband refused.
The court ruled divorce for the couple, but rejected the wife's claim, saying such issues can be ruled by the law only when virtual assets are related to the real world, such as when they have been valued with real currencies.
