"A 45-year-old California man pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to ripping off $4.8 million from his employer. Notably, the man admitted to
spending $1 million of that bonanza on Game of War."

"We've read reports about players spending thousands of dollars on Game of War, which bills itself as "the world's largest multiplayer strategy game." It's raking in more than $1 million daily."

No wonder Konami are moving to mobile games, there is an insane amount of money in this market while the spending on game development is pretty low (compared to PC and console AAA games).

When a friend showed me this bit of news it instantly reminded me of that movie.

Then I imagined a caveman playing mobile games and let out something between a laugh and a sigh.

Oooh, Game of War. I misread it as Gears of War and was like "How the hell did he manage to do that?"
