I made somewhere more than ten grand playing Asheron's call back in the day. I wasn't in it for the money but every once in a while I'd stumble across something worth too much money to keep. There was a suit of quest armor that was insanely good so I spent a month repeating that quest. It was a tough quest but I had a pretty powerful character. Next month they nerfed the quest and the value of the armor rocketed to $1500 a suit, so I sold five suits of Greater Shadow Amuli Armor.
Serious? Awesome.I recently discovered that people sell Clash of Clans bases, sometimes for upwards of $1000. It blows my mind.
Good job bro
Closest I came was playing Counterstrike in CAL back in the day. But me and the clan I was in got humiliated completely so I actually lost money helping to pay for our practice server. NEVER TRY
Better then lifting furniture or walking miles after miles as post man. I still go to gym on regular basis. I just don't sit all day
I think they make bugger all (from Twitch) unless they have a huge number of viewers.
They can make supplemental income from sponsors and of course donations.
I watch a Twitch stream that's basically as much comedy as it is gaming, and it's two guys so it's constant back and forth banter and stuff. Having 2 guys also makes it easier for one to interact with the chat and one to keep on gaming. Dudes making very decent money I'm guessing. They also have a very popular YT channel though, so that helps a lot with bringing in the eyes.
You talking about PewDiePie?
Haha I did the same shit, I'd just goto the local magazine store tear open the latest video game magazine and then sell whatever codes I could write down for a couple bucks each.
The local arcade in my area was having a Street Fighter 2 tournament, there were alot of people at the time like 40-60 heads. It was free tournament so alot of people joined eventhough they had no idea how to play. 95% of the people there were clueless or played flowchart Hadoken bros. There were a couple of dudes that were actually pretty good, one was a Dhalsim player and the other a Zangief player both of them made it really far but both of them had to quit because of their parents. Those guys I think could have beaten me if they had stayed. After they left and alternates came in, I faced an endless line of Ken/Ryu's who I beat fairly easily with Blanka because they all had the same game plan. I ending up being crowned the winner of the tournament. I won a t shirt, a $100 gift certificate to some local electronics store and entry into the next tournament which was to be held at the world famous Golfland in Sunnyvale. I begged my mom to take me which was like 2 hours away. After days of nagging she agreed and off we went. I got Golfland saw a huge group of people maybe about the same size as the last tournament except everyone was very good and a wide variety of characters. They had a few SF2 machines for people to practice on then as the tournament was about to they wheeled out this arcade cabinet that was all covered up with a blanket. They unveiled Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition which hadn't even come out yet in most American arcades, it blew everyone's minds. Long story short, I had a pretty close mirror match against another Blanka player but in the end got dusted in the first round of the tournament. My mom was so furious, almost five hours of driving for 4 minutes of playing and nothing to show for it.

Reading threads like this makes me think all those years I spent in school were a waste.
If only I invested as much time in Starcraft as I did studying, who knows where I would be today.
