How to make money by playing video games?

Yes I know this sound kiddish, but most of my Qs are kinda odd. But some things pop in my head and I know that this is my first place to go for the answers to those things that pop in my head and this is one of those things. I like to play video games, mainly FPS and MMO/RPG games and occasionally some racing and Minecraft. I'm just wondering if there's a way to get paid for what I love to do.

lol like many people get to be paid for what the love to do

Here are some ways to make money from video games
