the money he would do maybe would be just a help to have fun at weekends indeed, he wont make money like the creator of facebook did of course, but better than nothing ae.
and this thing of 12 years old game, doesnot matter, if there were 50k peples in ag all the time the age of game wont make any diference, the problem is that the community is too small and to make money over internet u have to get many peoples involved in the process, cos from 1 milion of peoples only 1k would really give him money back, which is kinda good.
look here per exemple, MI made that donation stuff, few peoples made him some donation, like 0.1% of peoples registered in tus, so thats it.
