Are online games still profitable?

How many users here are involved in the development of online games? Do you still make a lot of money? How long did it take your online game to start making profit?
When I say this – its because virtual worlds, online games, facebook games are all making people money – and it seems like its a very profitable business to be in, however; I believe it was better before – but what do you think? Are online games still profitable?
