Draw Something dev making $100k a day

Draw Something, the newest App Store sensation that brings Pictionary-like gaming to mobiles and tablets, is reportedly making more than $100,000 each day for its creators.

The financial success of the title has fast become a matter of intense speculation. At the time of going to press, Draw Something is the number one App Store item on all iPhone and iPad charts, including ‘Top Paid’, ‘Top Free’ and ‘Top Grossing’.

The game tasks players with guessing a word by observing a simple image drawn by their chosen partner. In the same style as Words With Friends, Draw Something uses a ‘message in a bottle’ system that sends a sketch to players, even if they are thousands of miles apart, that people can view at their convenience.
