Never seen the appeal of this game, but damn, I wish game companies were handing out this kinda cA$h when I was gaming heavily as a teen Unless you were wired on ritalin and were willing to pretty much give up all pretense of having anything resembling a life (or even playing any games outside of your single game of specialization), you never would have been good enough at any game for it to matter. Also, if you were going full-pro you'd pretty much have to accept that you were going to be too old for competition and would have to retire before you were even legally able to drink, and there's a good chance you'd have repetitive stress injuries (like carpal tunnel) you'd need to eventually have surgery to fix. The worst part is, if this kid is like most, he probably winds up tanking that million fairly quickly. Odds are he's not going to be investing soundly, spending within his means, and extending his savings far into the future. He might not even be able to parlay it into college savings (assuming he even wants to). And if he's really unlucky, he might trust his parents to handle his money for him and then they wind up stealing most of it. The idea of pro-gaming is usually much better than the reality of it. It's similar to being a "Let's Play"-type celebrity on YouTube or on Twitch in that respect. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:925309088] in 15 Year Ol...

supergamer19 07/29/19 4:46:08 PM #15:	Gaming tournaments really only have huge pay outs when developers themselves sponsor the tournaments. I could be wrong, but the highest paying fighting games are Tekken and Street Fighter, and the biggest tournaments are sponsored by Capcom and Bandai Namco respectively. Not sure about the Star Craft tourneys in Korea. Most gamers make most of their money through sponserships and streaming after cultivating a fan base (I think).
