Would You Quit Your Job To Play Games For A Living?

[bogey_j]

if you had the skill to compete with the top guys would you take that risk?

there's a 17-year old MK player named sonicfox that just won $60,000 at an MKX tournament, and now EVO is closing in (and i'm not sure how big the prize pool is) and dude could potentially win over $100,000 is less than a month not bad for playing videogames for a living

not gonna lie that makes me kinda salty

[Illuminatos]

Yes, I'd switch places with someone like Chris Smoove in a heartbeat.

[Juggalo Fred]

[VelourSocks]

Yes, I'd switch places with someone like Chris Smoove in a heartbeat.

I would consider twitch streaming on the daily but some of these dudes have to play video games for like 9 hours straight a day. I can only play video games for like 3 hours in a row at most. I have no idea how they do it.

[Suiken]

if you are paid sitting on the couch playing rpgs all day, why not?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Stupid question. Of course.

 

[duncanthetall]

Am I breathing?

 

[bogey_j]

Stupid question. Of course.

pro gaming is a fickle as hell business. there's no guaranteed money. just because you're good at a game doesn't mean you'll win every (or any) tournaments. its a big risk to quit a stable job just to game professionally, especially if you have a wife & kids. so no, its not a stupid question

Well even if you're good you're not gonna quit your job until you get some big Ws (with checks) under your belt. Once you're established then fukka 9-5.
