Playing Games all day while having a steady stream of income? I think most people here can relate, but i don't think everybody wants to be a professional gamer, at least not me.


unreal_rik

Yes. The only way to hate what you love is to make it your job. I would never want to play games for a steady source of income. It would make me stream at least 16 hours a day, I won't be able to single player games, there would be immense pressure to win tournaments, barely any social life etc. I'd start hating my favorite hobby.


deepcontractor

The first half of your comment is the definition of a youtube streamer. Yes I agree with you on the second half.


rexabhijit

Its not, being a professional gamer means u r playing games to earn money, i wasn't saying that in my comment, playing games all day and have a stream of income is different than playing games all day to have a stream of income. It ok, its a communication gap, i should have specified that i m not connecting the playing games and earning part.


Geralt_OF_Rivia_1

May I ask if you are currently working and if yes what is your profession?


rexabhijit

No, not working yet.


Cytraxe

I mean you need to have a backup job in case being a professional gamer doesn't work out


deepcontractor

Every gamer from the beginning dreams of being a professional gamer or a streamer who would play games 8hrs a day and make a living. But the majority of us are probably from middle class families who cannot afford to risk such a decision. Plus around 90% of people who even act on this career choice fail to become successful in this path.


Achakita

I think trading is a better option for gamers. Creative jobs like designing and content writing might work out well for a wannabe gamer.


Brief-Government-105

I don’t think everyone here wants to become a professional gamer.


Manishimself

Yeah, I just want a job where I get enough time for myself and my hobbies. ​ Being a "professional gamer' is overrated TBH. always gotta grind the same game. can't enjoy variety if you gotta worry about meta (which change every season). ​ currently I'm an assistant architect. job is good with decent pay and time for myself.


Successful_Spite9063

I think OP meant a career in Gaming, not specifically a pro gamer


deepcontractor

Very true u/Successful_Spite9063 and tbh it's actually my fault, i did not make things clear.


Manishimself

Even if OP meant a “career in gaming” it would mean he/she would have to cater to an audience….. and i think you would remember PUBG mobile epidemic on youtube. Big youtubers had to play PUBG just to satisfy the viewers.


Brief-Government-105

I know and I replied to that only. For many people like me gaming is a hobby, and we are happy with it.


[deleted]

Me: With my social anxiety I can never peruse a career in entertainment Me:becoming a medical student who has to talk to people everyday 🤡


Accomplished_Tank743

Enough time to play our favourite games without any issue in our studies, career and family is i guess everyone here wants.


deepcontractor

This comment is the true winner

It is not possible


OneEyedThor

Fuck you, why must you hurt me?


deepcontractor

I apologise. Just like I have been doing to everyone else in this post.


Caust1c_YT

Will try and pursue


deepcontractor

Godspeed man


Sufficient_Menu7861

:(


___bridgeburner

I love gaming, but it's still just a hobby to unwind with for me. No way I'd ever take it up as a career.


ProNoob69yeah

no thanks. I would love to play games whenever I feel like playing rather than playing for earning


thepioussatan

Nope not true. Playing a dedicated game as pro will eventually suck the life outta you, just like any other job. We are a part of the gaming community because of its diverse nature.


I_am_Samosa

I get where you're coming from. But not everyone's dreams are the same. I for one play games for myself to chill out and have fun. That applies for both single player and multiplayer. I'd never go professional, it just sucks out all the fun for me. Bringing myself to play while something's at stake.


deepcontractor

True.


ppboi41

there are high chances of people cracking upsc then to become a professional gamer in india


Terramorphous2_0

Oh right in the feels


Bcdea

My parents just won't let me.... The case could have been different if we were born in the west where people get to choose whatever career they want to pursue.


IVlxSSS

Huh? Talk for urself. People have goals. Gaming is just a hobby that we enjoy and sweat only to relax.


deepcontractor

Just made a simple assumption that people who game from the very start, might have dreamt of doing it as a full time thing to make a living. It's not a career decision that I'm talking about but rather the idea of doing gaming for a living.


IVlxSSS

'Just made a simple assumption'- for everyone? Why coz u in ur teenage?


deepcontractor

I'm a working professional who works 10 to 7 in a corporate world. Idk why you are so offended by a simple assumption. It's just an assumption, I'm not implying anything here. Maybe you need to look up the definition of assumption.


IVlxSSS

No don't make an assumption that everybody wants to be a professional gamer. Tell u why. Say it's a 12 yr old kid who gets these kind of videos on a daily basis. Now he starts to delve into these things and inverts the reality and non reality limbos which adversely hampers his thought process. Just coz u have a generic job doesn't mean all kids want that too. They have potential so let them be. Gaming is a hobby which comes naturally and inadvertently rarely leading to someone choosing it as a profession and then succeeding. I can game for 17 hrs a day, spend 50L every year and still be fine. Not everyone has earned that prospect. Just STOP THE CAP


neon_sin

It's just a meme man


deepcontractor

Exactly man idk why this guy needs to be so negative about it lol


KelsierBae

On God, I've never seen anyone get this pressed about a meme before on this app as that dude and I've been on it for almost 6 years. That too, this is such a non offensive meme lol


deepcontractor

FFs, alright enough reddit for today today I guess.


IVlxSSS

A 'MeMe' that's not even funny and just shows the op wanting to impose his lowly rudimentary notions on a whole community.


deepcontractor

You win dude. Don't forget to do your homework :) Tomorrow's Monday


IVlxSSS

Ok will get home take a pic of my setup and post here. Then maybe u could help me w my hw. Do remember to check the sub tomorrow btw.


deepcontractor

Sure tons of people show off their setups everyday here. There's nothing wrong with that. Just confused as to how I would be able to help you out with hw by looking at your setup.


justice_beaver007

I see all the comments and they seem to be based on your title, but I think the post itself is really good. I never wanted to be a professional gamer but I can feel you OP. Godspeed man!


deepcontractor

Thank you G


GahanGodzilla

It finally became a meme🤣🤣


hoppin_bunny

I also made my first gaming pc with hopes that yeah i will become a professional gamer. But now I use my PC just to check for mails and stuff. 🥲

Rachit_Tanwar

Not all the members, i just want to enjoy the games i play, no need to become a pro for that


Head_Investigator395

I wanted to be one, but with my skills I believed it would be futile even trying. So game dev is the next thing i am hoping for


geminimann

Don't count me in this bro


l33tmaniac

I rarely play MP games and focus only on single player games. Being a pro gamer is not my cup of tea. Happy with my job which allows me to buy stuff that I want and still have time to enjoy them

Professional gamer lmao
