Oh yes and one more thing video game testers either don't earn much or not at all because it takes no special skill to do it.

Without youtube, you can do competitive. Or be a video game tester.

Well yes you can, but I'm not too sure about full time. Also, income isn't stable.
In competitive play, you can enter tournaments to earn prize money, but if you lose then that's money lost, of course. If you're not talking about competitive play, then you could go on some MMORPGs or some other game and look hours and hours for an exceedingly rare piece of equipment/weapon then sell it to a mad gamer for a few hundred bucks or some other price(no seriously, I'm not kidding about this.) Either way, I'm not sure if they're reliable ways to earn money, but its up to you.

Unfortunately yes.

I say you can make a server for people to donate money for perks on your server. But you mainly need a very good server that's fun and lot's of people go on and like. Hope this helped

awesomedude1226By the way, you avatar is odd.. A man with a gun to an old woman's head..

HELL YES...

If you do it right you could.

Always that 5% though.

It's possible but don't hope on getting into it. Beta testing is a no-skills required job. You won't get a job in it.

is it possible yes, is it likely no. You have to be very very good. I wouldnt plan on gaming being a career.

Although, but I'm not sure this is the same, there is a job as a videogame tester. Where you test the game that is being worked on. I'm guessing they play them, take notes on what is okay or needs to be changed or fixed, and contact the designers. Where do you think they get that in-game footage of games when they are not out yet?

Very hard WITH youtube.
You have to be a very, very skilled gamer for competitive.

Competitively, yes.
Casually, no.
And there isn't anything "Full-time"

There are many competitive competitions out there such as the DOTA 2 Championships where they give millions to winners.
