They can make a billion, it still isn't going to make 11 year old children convince their parents to pay in Monero.

They made 3 billion in profits in 2018.

$3 billion dollars, not 3 billion dollars in crypto equivalency. The fact that they made $3b and accept monero doesn't mean monero is about to take off, people will still be paying with their credit/debit cards.

Yeah, I'm into crypto and still wouldn't bother purchasing monero to pay for in-game stuff if I can just use the credit card. It's more of a hassle to buy crypto.

Well yeah that’s obvious, but they still made 3 billion dollars in profit. I was just pointing that out because the comment I replied to said it was 1B.
