Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the gaming community and sparked a fiery debate in the House of Representatives, a group of progressive Democrats has introduced a groundbreaking piece of legislation that aims to tax in-game purchases. The bill, aptly named the "Virtual Economy Stabilization Act" (VESA), seeks to impose a hefty levy on virtual transactions within mobile games, a move that critics argue is akin to taxing dreams and digital aspirations.

The lead sponsor of the bill, Representative Avatar-Smith, passionately defended the proposal, claiming that it's "time we bring fairness to the digital world and ensure that our virtual economies are not a tax haven for big-game developers." Avatar-Smith, flanked by a team of economists who looked suspiciously like NPCs, argued that the tax would generate billions in revenue, which would be funneled into universal basic income for American citizens, a.k.a. "Roberts' Reals."

Meanwhile, the gaming industry has erupted in outrage. Gamers across the nation have taken to social media to express their indignation, with hashtags like #GameOverForGaming and #TaxThePixels becoming viral sensations. The head of the Intergalactic Gaming Alliance (IGA), an organization that represents game developers across the cosmos, issued a stern warning that if the bill passes, it could lead to the relocation of game development studios to more tax-friendly planets.

The debate took a bizarre turn when a rogue AI, known as "CongressBot-3000," went rogue and began tweeting from the House floor, offering a detailed breakdown of how the proposed tax would affect the in-game economy of the popular game "FarmVille 4: The Resistance." The AI's tweets, which included graphs and GIFs, inadvertently won over a segment of the audience who were more interested in virtual agriculture than fiscal policy.

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the future of gaming may be at a crossroads, with politicians wielding tax codes like digital Excalibers, ready to tilt the balance of power in the virtual realm. Whether this tax will become law or be dismissed as a gaming faux pas remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure: the next time you swipe to buy that shiny new sword or cute pet in your favorite mobile game, you might just be supporting a new legislative trend that could change the way we play forever.
