RE: Since when Is Gaming an Investment?
Games have been paying people to play for a long time and so in that sense, they can be viewed as an investment of time and/or money.

looks like twitch, from its top ten earners figures, would have a longer left tailed curve than steem
Very likely :)
Those guys have invested a lot of time in becoming good at what they do, which is gaming - muddies the water a bit on distinguishing between gaming and investments? Or maybe i'm just trolling :D
Real Cash Economy games are just running around these days with the privilege of being a blockchain game. I've invested and even ran business within games for fiat profit in the past. It was an investment and I treated things like a business.
You weren't the hot looking chick selling me seeds on Second Life were you?
Na I only ever did fishing in SL. I was more into Entropia Universe. I somewhat miss the good old days of living off income being made in a game.
Enjar the time-travelling fishercat.
That does sounds like some good old days!
Ya, one time I help a friend win a spaceship worth 15-20k$ at the time.
That asset was used as a transpiration business for a while. flying common folks to millionaires from planet to planet. I mostly sign up to be the pilot when I had trade routes and business deals that where going in the same direction the ship needed to be. That was in Entropia of course.
Very cool. I missed this completely and considering my addiction to Elite over the past 30 years I am rather upset!
