An Entropia Universe player recently covered the costs of a hip replacement surgery using cash he earned in-game, according to a press release issued by Entropia creators Mindark.
42-year-old Brad Welch, an avid fan of Entropia, used the cash he earned playing the game to fund the $10,000 dollar surgery that included replacement of his left hip and 42 stitches.
From Xfire: "Remember when you'd buy a game and... that was it? You got the full experience by purchasing the full product one time. "
Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.
"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"
No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol
"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"

Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000
WTF...?!
Living, breathing, multi-world Entropia Universe continues to bridge the gap between virtual and real with its newly launched virtual stock exchange. Earlier this month, Crystal Palace Space Station, the first company to be listed on the market, saw all of its shares claimed in less than 48 hours, marking the first time in the game’s 16-year history that shares in a privately-held estate were offered to the entire playerbase of Entropia Universe.
Entropia Universe is the largest Real Cash Economy Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the world, offering players the ability to participate in a unique virtual world where they have no monthly costs.
