So minus the time he spent programming, and his nominal hosting fees, Paul Preese is clearing almost $100,000 "salary" per year with Desktop Tower Defense. And he did it all on his own: he wrote the game, placed it on a public web server, hooked up AdSense, and then submitted it to a few social bookmark sites. No selling his soul to a publisher, no middlemen, just pure income, controlled directly by him. What's truly exciting about this is how the internet has created economic opportunity for a single programmer working alone.

he did of course sell his soul. He sold it to Google in the persons of Adsense and "social networking sites" (several of which are owned and run by Google).
