Kudos, though as Flammy pointed out, this could become very obscure sort of niche if the game changes something or decides to move some option around.

I had a few friends on this game called APB (All Points Bullet In), These guys were making legit money selling MOD cars, guns and tattoo designs.

However, in their case, they became an actual known group that some of their design and tattoo's were sold outside of the game.

No VC money, no nothing, just a few 17 years olds from Chicago and Poland making around 5k each in a month to create this whole design entity for unique products. + Their YouTube channel doing videos tutorials for the game.

I can't really link to them or anything, due to some of their restrictions, but that's just another way similar to this person doing the CS:GO thing and turning it into a business.

The difference here is that he created a marketplace, he doesn't sell directly skins that he made or mod.

It is impressive to see that kind of money for virtual goods in my opinion.

Oh, that is interesting!

And yes, it's pretty cool tying a part of that virtual world to real money in this way.
