I know there is youtube or creating letsplay videos, but lets be honest everyone does that and it dont pay the bills unless you meet requirements of the YouTube gods.

Im a casual gamer and im just wondering if i can turn this hobby into something like a job? Or should i prepare myself for a actually job in life?

So is it possible to earn real money as a gamer?

also im not sure where to put this sense there are not any money related communitys from what i know.

    Work hard, learn to code, master the fundamentals, excel beyond your peers and you might have a real chance at… being laid off by embracer, microsoft or ubisoft. Sigh.

      Sounds about right. 41% of game devs got laid off last year, and there have been several more big layoffs since that survey.

      Statistically, this is a terrible time to try and join the industry.
