How To Make Money Playing Video Games

Gamers have spent an estimated $135 billion on games in 2018, according to Newzoo. But it isn't just the big-name gaming companies that are making tons of cash - the gamers are, too. Gaming enthusiasts have turned playing video games into a full-time job that can earn some of them millions of dollars before age 30. Watch the video above to see how gamers make money.
Generally speaking there are two big ways that gamers can make money: esports and live streaming.
In the former category, twenty-eight year old Ho Kun Xian started gaming as a young boy. He came from a poor family who managed to spare him $2 to spend on video arcades whenever he went. There he began to master the art of fighting games. Years later, he turned pro, earning thousands of dollars in prize money as a gamer.
Xian's story highlights the burgeoning esports industry, which is minting millionaires who play video games for a living by the age of 30.
Esports refers to competitive video gaming where teams or individuals play against each other in games such as EA's "FIFA" series or Valve Corporation's "Dota 2" for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, in front of millions of viewers watching online and in physical arenas. Market research firm Newzoo forecasts the esports economy will grow to $905.6 million this year and $1.4 billion by 2020.
While esports may be smaller than traditional sports leagues like soccer's Premier League in the U.K. or the NBA, it's growing rapidly with new jobs and careers being made.
"I think I never thought, 'I better do this,' because even when I was 18 years old, there was no such thing as a pro gaming career, so this career didn't exist," Xian told CNBC.

    (Slightly irrelvant comment) It's gaming's turn now. This isn't the first time that such a thing is happening: Education is also looked at just a means to earn money. That's it, which is why even the best educational systems in the world focus only on preparing a workforce. Other types of education, especially moral education, are not taken into account. I mean, I am not one of those guys who says money doesn't is not everything, but people have to understand that just like the way gaming is firstly for enjoyment and then for everything else, education is more than just a means to earn money.

    For a brutally competitive field if gamers are very good they turn pro and make fortunes from tournaments and livestream. It is not like every player in video games is good enough to turn pro, but if a person has talent today they can make a fortune and it is a very big business as well resulting in billions of dollars in revenue. E-sports is going to continue to grow as the 2020's approach and we could see a integration of VR, AR, MR technology and internet play a role in the evolution of video games and communication as well.

    It's rough going pro but ever since I was 13 and saw pro players play with other pros I felt inspired by it so I got addicted of trying to be the best and I went from Dota2 to leagueoflegends to overwatch I grinded for years trying to be good enough for pro eventually I got into a game called overwatch which is the one where I peaked 4100 sr I gotta tell you reaching 4000 sr gm only 200 sr from top 500 got me really happy i was closer to becoming pro I wanted to stream but my wifi was bad I lived with my parents I got kicked out of high school cause of bad gba and I still lived with my parents was 16 when I got kicked out of school now 18 I'm willing to play hard and lose it all to go pro im willing to die for my passion going pro was my dream since I was 13 now I live with my sister I pay rent going start streaming when I get better pc and better internet hope you never let your dreams die !

    main stream media will never be able to replicate games because theres always a new kid on the block meaning youll have to start back to square 1 when playing a new game especially if a tournament is hosted by the game creators themselves so theyll always be independent and can always deny making any tournament not official to go towards their inside league. its like EVO, only certain games get in that year.
