Gaming for a living?

I recently read a New York Times article about how gaming could lead to a whole new world. There are many professional gaming leagues, across almost every game. Could you imagine being paid to just play your favorite game? People make can make serious amounts of money off of it, not just enough to get by. Also, gaming YouTube channels, most famously PewDiePie, makes enough money to make a good living too.

I find this to be a huge jump the eGaming, and the online area in all. The fact that now you can play games, games, that are designed to bring an entertaining experience to the player, and can make a living? That's incredible. Even if you can't make a living, starting a YouTube channel can earn you some more money, while taking a fraction of your time. If you enjoy this stuff, and want to earn a little money, playing professionally or doing YouTube isn't a bad idea.
