According to a recent BBC article:
"Nearly 500,000 people in developing nations earn a wage making virtual goods in online games to sell to players, a study has found."
The key facts of the article:
- 80% is based in China (400,000)
- Earn an average of $154 a month
- Estimates that the global market is worth $1 Billion
So far it seems "banning" and prohibition has failed to stop any of these practices and the market is rapidly growing.
