I think some of the second-life-style games have the rent, loans and taxes thing just because the in game currency has (had?) real world value and you would use it to buy land and stuff to put on it, so I guess that's kinda inevitable. No idea if there was ever a second life university though
Personally, I agree it's kinda depressing
You know your in-game currency has made it into the big leagues when real organized crime uses it to launder their own ill-gotten gains.
TF2 lootbox keys and Apple Ear Buds both became active currencies of this sort in the 2010s
