Dream job for how many people? My son would be stoked if he could make a decent living from playing games

It’s amazing how many gamers make a living making videos on youtube. And how many become millionaires from making other types of videos. It does give options other than a 9-5 job, though being shy would make it difficult.

Not all gamers are going to rake in big bucks. 90% will be gaming for hours in the dark no fresh air and no money coming in.

Great that he earnt all that money but 18 hours a day on the computer on weekend days and 8 hours a day on week days is too much. He is 14 and is missing out on so much.

Hopefully his parents guide him well. Not everyone can have a hobby which pays money.

Well, at least he’s planning for the future. I’d only see this as a short term job…

Oh dear. I mean, $200,000 sounds great if you’ve already passed through high school and uni / TAFE etc and got a career.

Hope the money is invested well as his not getting an education

surely this isn’t good for his education and learning about the world.

I think it’s ridiculous that people can become “famous” for doing ordinary things and that our kids getting addicted to watching them play games.

i little too much time on the computer for me

What happens if the company involved goes broke? Is there a risk he may end up with a debt. Sometimes things like this are too good to be true and can end in disaster

My son loves fortnight, maybe I should put him to work lol

At least he is making money from his addiction, makes it seem more worthwhile.

Wow, huge amount if money! But what’s happening with his school work and social experiences with peers? If he’s playing 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, there’s not much time for other things

  Excellent question – particularly about school.

I am staggered by the amount of money!

Crazy how people make money these days.

18 hours a day is too extreme I don’t care about how much much they make

Don’t tell my grandsons about this ! I don’t think it’s a great idea that he spends so much time on the screen and not socializing and being outside. Money is not everything

Good on the kid, but not all kids are so business savvy! And it’s probablt not setting a very good tone for some others
