Here are our top ideas on how to make money playing video games. Around 3 years ago, I figured out ways to earn money by turning my video game obsession into a side hustle. With that kind of money, be sure there are ways to cash in. Gaming is one of the biggest industries in the world with a revenue of over $150 billion. This doesn’t include all of my other gaming gear and accessories. Currently, I have a 1TB PS4, two custom gaming laptops (Alienware and MSI Area 51) that cost around $3,000 each, a Nintendo Switch, and an original NES. The one thing all gamers know is that it is not cheap to play. What has changed is that now I’m the one paying for this passion.
All I wanted in life was to play a new game.Īs a grown up, that desire in me has not changed. When the glorious Nintendo (NES) released, I was glued to my tube television hopping over deadly mushrooms and getting sucked inside green pipes. It didn’t take long for my addiction to kick in. I’ve played video games since I got my first Atari 5200 back in 1985.
