GameGum: Earn cash for your Flash video games
by Emily Price Feb 5th 2007
Gamegum is an online community based on flash video games. Registration is free, and once you sign up you can submit games you've created as well as play "comment and vote-on" games that others have created.Yesterday Gamegum made revenue sharing live on their site. Users who create Flash games and post them on the site can also put up adsense ads and earn revenue for their games. The percentage of time your ads will be displayed on your game depends on your "Gumpoints" are points users can earn for posting games, voting on games, posting in the forum and other activities on the site.
Unless you spend tons of time on this site, or submit tons of games you're never going to get to the top revenue sharing percentage (50%). Submitting a game will earn you only 40 points of the 10,000 you'll need to get to a 50% revenue share. With 0 points however you can earn 25% so even new users will earn something.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
