It's interesting to read the story of someone else who has profited from the exploitation of video games. I did so from a more human perspective, I sold gold either bought from other player characters or harvested using automation in popular MMOs. I would have never thought of it as a business. My income was steady for 5 + years, and not a day went by where I didn't consider the possibility of the game company wiping out all of my 'assets' in entirety, leaving me penniless had I not saved, and worst -- jobless. Fun times. Thanks for writing this, although I think that "I would've been a great employee at..." is too speculative. It's so hard to say without actually doing it, it's not just your own skills/actions that you have to worry about in business.
