Did you read that recent Wired article about Koreans playing some

Definitely profitable. And porn must be profitable (or at least was) 
since, as you pointed out, they are often the companies that innovate 
new web technology.

(The Wired article is also interesting in that it explains how/why 
Korea has cheap broadband for most of the population.)
