I didn't realise gaming was such a serious business. I just like killing things.

Currently, there's gamers that make good money from actually being employed by their teams/organisations, contract and all.

And that's great.

Yeah twitch is by far the best way to tell if a game would be for you.

...apart from actually playing the game of course.

But yeah, in terms of not having to commit actual money first you're right.

Aye. You can play all sorts from FIFA to CoD to Forza and Smash Brothers.

Just 2 examples. Pretty much any top tier CSGO/League of Legends team is under contract and is getting paid decent money.

I can't bare it, mainly because all my mates play and don't shut up about it, but that League of Legends is ridiculous.

Selling out stadiums and that. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29684635

Yes mate. Best game I've played for ages.

I think you'll enjoy it if you get yourself going with the story and how big the bloody place is.

I don't find it that odd - people play/practice/etc that for 5-10 hours a day, so why is it so mental?

Aye, may as well get paid to play.

Used to do it for a laugh but got out of it before it got serious. Missed opportunity for tonnes of people.

Well no. Most people siting in an office are doing something. For the real world.

I'm struggling to comprehend getting paid to pay FIFA.

I'm obviously a little jel too of course!
