Since their inception, video games have been dismissed as a lesser form of entertainment compared to cinema and television.
But the video games industry has grown rapidly and according to the 2015 Global Games Market report it is estimated to be worth $91.5 billion!
As a result, video game development has since become a very popular and profitable profession. Game development is a multifaceted industry that requires a variety of skills!

Andreja Djokovic, founder and programmer at video game development company Barbaoga, likens the process of video game development to that of constructing a building. Creating a video game requires many elements, all of which are necessary and none should be missing. There are various professions related to this, from character and environment modeling to framework and sound programmers and designers and writers who construct the game's stories.
Djokovic had a degree in Computer Science but never thought he would use it in video game development. Now even parents are starting to think of video game development as a good career choice for their children, even though most people believed that video games were not good for their children.
According to a Gamasutra survey, video game developers in the US earn an average of $83,060 per year!

However, video game development isn't the only way to make money through games! Joseph Orr made $1500 playing video games last year! He started playing competitively when he and two friends took part in a Super Smash Brothers tournament that had over 120 participants.
“My friends were eliminated very quickly but I was in the top eight. So when that was over, I thought, why not keep doing it?” said Orr.
Orr has won more than 30 tournaments, and in his most successful event he won over $200. But unlike video game development, what Orr does is not a viable career choice. There are only about 100 people in the world who make a living from it.
If you love video games so much, why not turn your hobby into a profession? Are you still thinking about it?
