The way I understand it is that many virtual items appears to have a real life dollar equivalent to it. So, when these items are bought and sold with real money, it's still commerce of sorts, even though the items in question are virtual rather than real. The fact that some people have amassed vast quantities of these virtual assets only draws attention to the issue.
However, I don't think you are at risk of being taxed just for playing a game within its virtual confines.
