The gaming industry had a real catch in the mid 2000s when new MMORPGs got popular as many people started playing them. Especially, the game "Runescape" that was targetted to younger audience, became very profitable!. Another game, "Conquer Online" is also very popular. I heard that the admin of CO manages to earn a net profit of $100k even after paying to the programmers and Game Moderators. In today`s world, WoW(World of Warcraft) is getting too popular that many people have started selling in-game items and stuff for $1000s!. Imagine what would be the average profit of the Warcraft developer...
