Population explosion for virtual worlds

There are VCs, business angels, and investors who think, that the quick and big money is in ads for virtual worlds.

There are also other voices who expect microtransactions to grow sharply over the next years.

This report at least predicts:

"86% of revenue in 2015 will come from microtransactions -- this equates to a growth from 2008's microtransaction figure of roughly $1 billion, to $17.3 billion in six years time."

It will be interesting to watch how things turn out. Maybe ads can swing up to the same performance.
