The winner of the Dota International gets 2.5 million dollars plus sponsorships. Professional gamers make hundreds of thousands and get a shit ton of free things from sponserships. Plus most of them get money from donations and subscribers from websites like Twitch.
Getting paid a lot of money to play videogames, more than that- to do something some people love and view as an art form doesnt seem sad to me.
It's a hobby dude how is that sad? Who are you to judge
Get the fuck out. Obviously it's a hobby, one I engage in myself. But being so absorbed in it that you wanna do it professionally or watch pro gamers, that's when it gets sad. You want a job involving video games that's respectable, become a dev. Make something amazing.
Pro gaming will someday be as big as pro sports. I know a lot of people dont see it, but the millions of world-wide viewers watching these events says otherwise.
