Does anyone work online?

Gamers at Work (2012 book): If you could ask anyone in the online/connected games space anything, what would you ask?

  • I'm interviewing entrepreneurs in the online/connected games space about their lives, careers, and businesses for my next book Online Gamers at Work. If there's anything you'd like to know about this space, I'll make my best effort to work your questions into my interviews.

  • Answer:

    (1) What is the costliest 'in game' item that you have ever sold or purchased ? Who was so in need of the item that they spent so much to buy the item ? (2) Do people in developing countries (China,India,Philipines and others) play these games as a fulltime job ? (not professional as in developed countries , but more like Mechanical Turks) Whats the worst/best story you have heard about one of these 'drone' gamers ? (3) Whats the costliest purchase of one of these accounts with lot of achievements and trophies ?
