killamch89 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Not at all - the reason being that by making gaming a profession, it'd no longer playing games for the fun of it and instead, as a means of income which takes away the fun aspect. I'll eventually become burnt out and might stop gaming altogether because I'd no longer enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I had in the past thought about playing games professionally but it was never something I was ever able to take on and do. I would still one day like to play video games and make something from it but playing professionally I am not sure is something I will do, at least not for now.

I wanted to do the same years ago but then it occurred to me that It'd probably take away the fun element of playing when I want and enjoying the game how I want to. When you're a pro player, you're under pressure to constantly perform at your very best or else, you'll end up with less income. Especially when professionally gaming is your primary income, you'll eventually get burnt out and lose interest in gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also seen it happen to some of the professional gamers who started out as passionate about gaming, but eventually got burned out and lost their love for the game.

Scorpion Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I have considered it! The thrill of competition is appealing, but the pressure and time commitment can be overwhelming too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOn Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 There was a period when I wanted to try competitive gaming but I didn't because I still need to acquire more skill to showcase myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
