No, that's not the quickest way, if it were then the people with the most posts would be the richest and they're not. The quickest way is by far the prediction league, the problem is that it's not safe and you can end up losing money
The best option, both safe and quick is DB working, for example if you find a game that's missing, say, 10 boxarts (I've found a lot of those, trust me), that's 20 easy bucks from no more than the 2 mins it takes to save the boxarts from GameFAQs and upload them with proper captions. Each summary is $4.50, if you go to a publisher or console site and start adding summaries from there you can easily make $100 in less than 15 minutes

No, the fastest way to make VG$ is to make a huge (good) bet in the Prediction League.

As the longest running richest person on VGChartz (now surpassed by oliist) he is right. The Game Database is the way to make the big money. It isn't the easiest, but it is the fastest. The PL is the second best way, but you can only earn ~2k/week easily. If you go check out the PL thread in my sig, you can follow the LTD link and you can see how much has been made in the PL over the lifetime of the league as it runs now.

2 people in the top 10 spammed their way to the richest, but they are far behind the other people.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Because having more pretend money than some other anonymous person is really so important...

The KZ thread made me around $400 in total. It required a month of constantly updating it with reviews. If I really want to, I can make $400 in an hour by updating games. Now I feel I wated time with the KZ2 thread

Help fill up the game database. Every once in a while I like to help out. There's also prediction league but that's risky [I always turn up a decent profit though]
