(1) With over 64 million monthly active players, up to 1 million of whom are logged on simultaneously during peak times, chances are you have heard of the online game creation platform. Fans are probably also aware that all the games in the Lego-like virtual world are created by users, typically teens and young adults.
(2) What is not as widely known is that the California-based company gives 30 percent of any revenues earned from the games to the creators. In 2017, they paid out $30 million, $3 million of which went to one developer while two others received $2 million apiece. In 2018, the company has distributed an astounding $70 million to the most popular games created by members of its four-million-strong developer base. Although the percentage of player/developers is tiny, those lucky few, around 1 percent get substantial payouts.
(3) Among the biggest beneficiaries of the revenue-sharing policy is Alex Jafanz, the publisher of a role-playing game where inmates escape from prison and run from the police. While the 19-year-old and his business partner have created several other games on the platform, none have been as popular. Just three days after its release on April 21, 2017, the game boasted 75,000 concurrent players, the highest ever on the development platform game. Within three weeks, Jafanz's game reached 44 million place visits, making it the fastest-growing game ever in the company's 14-year history!
(4) As to what inspired these young entrepreneurs to develop or design games? They are all former game players and just wanted something different. Many just thought it would be fun to make a game that they wanted to play themselves, with little thought about the potential acclaim and remuneration they could receive for developing the highest grossing games. So, if you are a fan, you may be on the path to prosperity - provided you use your imagination and work hard, of course!

What does the word ‘remuneration' mean in final paragraph?

One day, a ragged beggar was creeping along from house to house. He carried an old wallet in his hand and was asking at every door for a few cents to buy something to eat. As he was grumbling at his misfortune, he kept wondering why it was that folks who had so much money were never satisfied but were always wanting more. "Here," he said, "is the master of this house–I know him well. He was always a good businessman, and he made himself wondrously rich a long time ago. Had he been wise, he would have stopped then. He would have turned over his business to someone else, and then he could have spent the rest of his life in ease. But what did he do instead? He built ships and sent them to sea to trade with foreign lands. He thought he would get mountains of gold." "But there were great storms on the water; his ships were wrecked, and his riches were swallowed up by the waves. Now, all his hopes lie at the bottom of the sea, and his great wealth has vanished."
"There are many such cases. Men seem to never be satisfied unless they gain the whole world."
"As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more." Just at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him:
"Listen! I have long wished to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?"
"Oh, yes, I understand," said the beggar.
"Then be careful," said Fortune. "Your wallet is old, so, do not load it too heavily." The beggar was so glad that he could hardly wait. He quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow gold poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.
"Is that enough?" asked Fortune.
"Not yet."
"Isn't it cracking?"
"Never fear."
The beggar's hands began to tremble. Ah, if the gold would only pour forever!
"You are the richest man in the world now!"
"Just a little more, add just a handful or two."
"There, it's full. The wallet will burst."
"But it will hold just a little more!"
Another piece was added, and the wallet split. The treasure fell upon the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing now but his empty wallet, and it was torn from top to bottom. He was as poor as before.
How did the master of the house become poor?

A He was robbed.
B His ships sank at sea.
C He was a nice man, he gave away his fortune.
D His fortune was burnt down with his house.
