With all the MMO players out there trying to defend peoples right to use real life resources for in game benefit I just can't see how a developer using their resources for in game benefit is any different. Just consider the Developers to be like the Rockefellers or Kennedys of the real world, they had a better starting position than you, not much you can do about it.

This is not a proper analogy. Developers in a MMO game are not equivalent to magnates in Real Life (TM), but to government employees taking advantage of privileged information and control of public resources to make profit for themselves or their "friends". Which is considered a crime.

It's like a government employee tipping confidential information to a high executive thus providing unfair advantages in stock-trading operations.

Or a nation leader using public resources to invade a foreign country in order to secure the rights for private companies to explore such country's natural resources, although he's a large shareholder for these companies.

Both hypothetical examples of course.
