Twenty-one Year Old Porgrammer Became a Milionare

Twenty-one Year old programmer became a Millionaire thanks to the internet game that he wrote. The goal of the game is killing, stealing and terrorising an imaginary city.

Joe Chatburn, had only 16 years when he got the idea to write the game focused on crimes. The game Torn is based on text there is no graphics in it. Today there are 41000 active players and over 1.3 Million open accounts. The basic game is free, but for £3 the player gets more points and better status. More that 50% of the players pay those £3. That's how Joe became a Twenty-one year old Millionaire. After he finished High School he studied IT-technology but he left his studies to focus on the game.
Here's a LINK of the game.
