the total number of hours consumed by Angry Birds players world-wide is roughly 200 million minutes a DAY, which translates into 1.2 billion hours a year. To compare, all person-hours spent creating and updating Wikipedia totals about 100 million hours over the entire life span of Wikipedia (Neiman Journalism Lab).


umm holy shit


Well, they said "creating and updating," not "creating, updating and deleting." Include deleting and I'll guarantee you Wikipedia's man-hours of fun makes Angry Birds look like a modern-day Vectrex release.

I have seen comments to the effect that the Minecraft guy pulling in 90K a day should make the Dwarf Fortress guy want to kill himself. I was going to say the same about Angry Birds and the designers of Scorched Earth and Death Tank. It's all about the *arcs*.
