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

2. Become language translator and get paid to translate games in Spanish, German, French, Polish, etc
3. Start farming gold & virtual items inside games and then trade / sell them off to other players
4. Build your game review site or YouTube channel and post / promote affiliate links from Amazon or GameStop. If someone go to the link, orders anything, then you earn some commission

6. Learn programming skills, make your own video games and earn money from it
