    Totally viable. Riot Games is pulling it off with League of Legends. Exact same case: money is just for skins etc. All the money in the world won't give you any unfair advantage. O…

    I am a little confused, i thought the current industry placed projects > places you have worked, hence the entire fuss about github profiles
