The recent Warthunder Flaming Arrows update introduced the HE 219 plane, a German night interceptor, which was created by a player, Daniil "_Joy_Division_" Zaitsev. This was part of the War Thunder Revenue Share Program, where players could create maps, vehicles, skins and submit them to game. the most popular player made item go on sale and the creator gets a 25% cut of each sale.
guess how much Mr. Zaitsev has made? over $5000 until now: http://mmo-play.com/mmofps/war-thund...nets-player-5k
Being a video gamer in his 30's it is really great to see people making a living out of the hobby. Back in the days we were always told by parents and uncles etc how video games were a waste of time. Glad some people are proving them wrong. still wish i was making a living of playing games though
