9 Video Games That Make More Money In A Day Than You Ever Will

8. FIFA 17

Daily Revenue: 1.78 million est. ($650 million across 2016, divided by 365)

Pair EA with the single biggest football gaming franchise on the planet, and it was only a matter of time before the former realised they could crowbar in microtransactions in some form or another.

Enter 'Ultimate Team'; pretty much a gamblers dream of mystery boxes, coin totals and re-rolls to create your dream lineup.

Obviously the fallback is - as always - that "it's totally optional", especially if you tend to play FIFA casually or only in multiplayer, yet the reality is a mode that feeds off the "one more try" instinct to really rack up the cash.

EA's CFO Blake Jorgensen has even stated that across FIFA, Madden and NHL (all with these 'Ultimate Team modes), the "extra content business" adds a tidy $1.3 billion dollars to their coffers in total.

As if EA, of all people, needed another revenue stream.
