I think you need to specify your focus a bit more. Until I saw your three points, I thought you were going to cover ethical decisions during gameplay (is it really wrong to kill peasants if the game doesn't penalize you?).

It sounds like your real focus is further spread out. You've got pirating software (point 1), age-appropriate extensions (point 2), rules for an online gaming site (point 3), and capitalism spreading to the real world (point 4). Any one of those points would make for an interesting discussion and a well-received paper.
