Blimey there are a lot of currency trading sites all of a sudden.
Dave Ricky posted this fascinating observation as comment 134 of the ever popular IGE Speaks thread and I really did not want it to be missed:
Okay, here's something interesting: Comparative currency prices for every US game of any sizeAlso, even more intriguing: Look at all those sponsored links. Those cost money, and every variant combining game names and their currency kicks up a crapload of them. And in case you think it's just a fluke: While the game operators and developers have had their heads in the sand, this *huge* market has been growing and maturing. I always said that sooner or later the ostrich approach was going to bite us in the ass. Looks like Sigil just felt the sting.

Well spotted Dave!
They say that in a gold rush the only ones that really make the money are those that make shovels; there is obviously a market in advertising, what’s next out-of-the-box currency trading portals? And how soon before we will see weirder instruments like Futures being traded on virtual currencies?
