Realtime counters of things to do with money aren’t really anything new, but they’re typically used for depressing political statistics like these. For whatever reason, Decluttr, a web site that gives you cash for your old stuff, has published a pretty amusing site that shows just how much hugely popular free to play games are making in real time. Now, this comes with the obvious caveat that all they’re really doing is extrapolating estimates of what all these games are actually making as the only one who knows (for instance) how much Clash of Clans is making per second is Supercell… But, hey, it’s still fun to sit there in amazement as these numbers rise so rapidly.
Just look at those numbers! That’s insane, but also… really cool at the same time that mobile gaming has gotten so huge and lucrative for (some) developers. It reminds me of those old email forwards talking about how Michael Jordan and Bill Gates make so much money.
