Make money playing games... is this for real?

Posted by nholland @ 05/29/2005

Over the past year, I've heard about people making money in Online games. Basically, they would utilize real world skills like trend spotting, design, and actual gameplay to amass things of value within online games.

Now, I read an article that actually confirms what I've heard... people making as much as $100K per year playing in the MMO RPG (massively multiplayer online - Role Playing Game)

The article below brings up two thoughts:
1) This is going to be an Intellectual Property Lawyer's worst nightmare...
2) People around the world would be smart to move to countries with lower costs of living and therefore could make their primary job to play video games... and still live prosperous.
