  1. It seems that in the gaming industry, gamers have two paths they can take in order to earn money. On one side, there is entering eSports tournaments, where one's earnings are dependent on their performance in tournaments. Athletes in eSports seem to be earning a steady income of $50,000. The other route gamers can take is going into streaming, and producing content for either Youtube or Twitch. The top gaming YouTubers, such as Tyler "Ninja" Blevins earn in the millions. However, going into streaming is much riskier, and is much harder for gamers to be successful in.
