Pyramid scam much?

The $6 Dollar PayPal Money Making Method…

Such an old scam updated to use the internet. I remember hearing about this nearly twenty years ago. Only it was done with letters and $1 bills :P

Lol, seriously. It’s also a horrible pyramid scheme b/c you only get your money back, each time someone gives a dollar you move down the list, so after your $6th you’re off the list. Only person making out here is Paypal because they’re making something like $0.20 each time someone does this.

RS: you forgot that you’re supposed to put your ad all over the internet, so you potentially have hundreds of people giving you 1 dollar each, multiplied by 6 for their spreading of it. Of course, I don’t know who would fall for this. If I tried it I would put 6 email addresses that all gave money to me (heheheh).

On topic: I started making flash games and I’m sorta exited at the prospect of making money off of it. However, It’ll be a while till I can make good games that can win me a sponsorship/liscense, so Kong is a great resource for me, allowing me to upload anything I want.

A question about sponsorships:
The game I’m working on right now (I’m hoping) will be good enough to get sponsored by someone once I’m finished with it. I was wondering how much sponsorships will pay for generally. I’m sure it must be a good deal because I’ve seen so many other developers do it, but I’m still curious as to how much I’d make.

question… whats really stopping you from just copying and pasting the message? i dont know anyone who would actually pay something like that…
