Was that question directed at me?
If so, no. I'm part-time, but I make more than most teenagers do working 20 hours a week. Much more.
However, a large part of money is diverted into a Roth IRA, or a retirement account. You may think that's early for a teenager, but it's never too early. I may end up even paying taxes. Parents brought me a weird form yesterday to sign. I don't mind spending money on this game, but comments such as these make me cringe away from doing so:

It's pretty easy to take it off the shelf; it's virtual.
Or, you may actually say: "Hmm, this is selling well! Let's try it in purple!" Because people love red, you know? And let's price it maybe twenty cents more. And so this is where it gets fun. And of course we have to respect the users, because we don't want to, basically, beggar them. You know, 'rob from Paul and give to Mary' -- or whatever it is!
But that's the part where I think we will really be able to add value to game developers the world over. I mean, we're starting with Korean game developers because that's where a lot of this inventory rests. But I'm hoping, and starting to see friends of mine, in fact, who all work around here, who are starting to develop games.

Wee. Our sole purpose is to make money, and as much as we can. Forget the bugs, let's go make money! Maybe if we make a pink Menian set, and price it 500 SparkCash more, no one will notice?
