You know, people use these figures to sell news. How much do you make? How much does the owner of the business which employs you make when you factor in his company returns , profits and perks?
There is an enormous base for people playing MMORPGs. Just as people spend money on cheat devices to get them past their games, some people will pay money for extra items or gold or whatever in their MMORPGs. The MMORPGs themselves are often made artificially difficult to keep people playing, and *paying*. It's a multifaceted topic, where you can't point to any one entity and say that they're doing rubbish, or how could they do that. Sony itself is starting it's own online store where people can sell in game items for real money and Sony gets a %. If it was such a horrible practice as the MMORPG makers tried to make it seem, why's Sony getting in on the action? if it was sooo very unbalancing to the gameplay and unfair to other players, why is the actual developer now getting in on the action? I'm sure they've had this system in mind for some time now, just didn't have the time to get it all together, and in the meantime third parties started filling the void. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:164179 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
