Nah, gaming isn't my job, only a few have "made it" here, but even that came with a price.
One day maybe I'll get there, as a content creator, because the competitiveness is slowly dying out. Currently the gaming scene here doesn't promise you much either, but we are getting there though, somewhere at least.
And this hobby of mine fits well with my routine and life I'd say. All the office work is dealt with by the evening, then I sit down and browse on PeakD or do a little reading. Nowadays it starts off a bit late, after dinner there's 2 to 3 hours of a gaming session with the teammates or friends. Some nights we play some nights we don't, but we still somehow maintain our form and try to improve.
Seems like professional gaming isn't a very good target to aim at if it's so rarely attained.
For most of the countries around here it's tough, because of a weak structure, or no structure at all in some places. But there many countries that have that structure set, and good players are actually making really good money.
E-sports and the gaming industry is currently bigger than the movie and music industry combined. Sadly, some countries don't really promote it properly, because they don't understand it.
Yeah, I know about the e-sports thing but if ire it, I prefer the real thing. It's all personal choice though. There's a place for computers, but I don't think they should replace the real world which seems to be the way it's heading for many.
It's not replacing the real world any time soon. Even a professional top ranked player gets enough time to head out and get some fresh air, invest time in physical sports and all the other stuff the world has to offer.
But like you said, it's all about personal choice. Because I do know some players who spend all their free time playing videogames or just sitting in front of a TV/PC. That's just a bit too much I'd say.
I hope everyone stays in their basement in the dark playing video games and covered in cheetos crumbs all the time...That'll leave the real world just for me!
Hey now, I wouldn't mind that either. 😂
A bit of peace and quiet is few and far between nowadays. ☮️
Sounds idyllic huh? 😂
