Guys like AVGN, Mike Matei, Jontron, Arin Hanson, etc. don't know how good they have it.

Arin Hanson is the best example of this because his job is literally just to play video games

I dunno, for me it doesn't seem that great unless they're making a lot of money. I'd rather have my current job if the pay was the same.

I really haven't played vidya games srsly since the PS2 was newish though I guess

Is it the only game you've ever played? Shenmue is like one of the worst games ever made. 20 hours of boredom leading to a crappy cliffhanger. What a joke. Qte garbage

It's more directing and writing episodes and acting. It's not as easy as it looks.

With Game Grumps, they literally release a few 10 minute episodes every day of them playing different games and making dumb jokes or burping.

And someone else does the editing too.

Okay but you shouldn't lump everyone together. AVGN doesn't fit that description for most of his content.

imagine thinking that LPing doesn't require video editing. Imagine thinking that the hard part of making AVGN is a couple minutes of gameplay.

I'm sure there's a spectrum of effort involved depending on the exact person/series

I mean, there are plenty of popular LPers who seemingly never edit or only edit their videos lightly. Or there were like 5 years ago when I watched LPs with any regularity.

in any case, imagine thinking that would be 'difficult'? I don't think the level of technical skill involved is what stops most people from breaking through lol

Still though, it's basically his job to play video games.

He sort of has a character but not really (at least not anymore). Same with Jontron and Pat the NES Punk. Honestly the character and high-budget stuff take away from what people really want to see. The best videos by far on Pat the NES Punk's channel are when he's just hanging out with Frank
