I wonder what a person would become if they spent 25 years playing video games and getting high. I know after ten years they'd be losing the thread of conversations regularly, and probably be a pale flabby thing with back trouble.
This is a very interesting question I have asked people that most people dont consider. The idea of what "retirement" is to someone. You find that vacations are nice until you are 'always' on vacation. Then the human condition dictates that someone wants structure, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and some sort of social bonding. After a while you either crumble into yourself or you do begin to search for these things on your own. There are really so many social conformity issues deeply ingrained in our psyches regarding societal value on a personal level that we try to fulfill in our lives. Work, job or occupation is the primary way we rate or judge ourselves on a personal cognitive level in society through some outside factor, the only greater one is gender here actually. Yet because gender is often not a personal choice, occupation is number one. So to not work after a while will drag on people, in fact retirees today that are living a lot longer than 65 are often being seen finding part time mentoring positions or simply going back to work until they physically or mentally cannot do the job they enjoy simply to gain these deeply ingrained intrinsic and extrinsic value rewards. With the advent of E-sports I have noticed that when I mention I play Eve to friends they either say oh thats nice or something similar in the derogatory and offputting ways yet as soon as you mention that you are worth a few thousand dollars US in game or that this killmail you were on was a titan worth 2 grand their opinions change incredibly. Because work==money/living to many people. When most people think of games and gamers being basement dwelling losers I tend to link them the e-sports top money earners site and grin. payouts and rankingsRemember A-Rods $100mil baseball contract? Or Micheal Jordeans Nike deal? These were guys playing a "sport". There is ultimately no difference to watching someone on Twitch and watching someone on ESPN in a dunk contest or a home run derby. in this regard computer and e-sports is the next wave of gaming, gaming that can be done well beyond the physical age of a person. As someone thats played sports all my life I have now simply gone over into this e-sports ideology. You gotta either keep playing or coaching and Im an as*hole so coaching aint my thing. With longer and longer life expectancies and more life in those years left to us what would you do if you would retire right now? Remember eventually you will want to have a life again. They say Eve is life.... hmmm maybe Its a pirating life for me!!
This was extremely well spoken and i bet it sounded even more professional in your mind XD
Yeah, IF (that's a big "if") EVE Online were ever to become a leading form of entertainment, to the degree that people were paid to play, i would certainly be aiming for a path like that. I'm sure a million before and after me would say the same, but hey; gotta want something. Nothing else seemed that appealing right now. Nothing worth mentioning here, i'm not one to get political in a place that i can't go haam.. Naturally, the trolls have a very projected sense of me and have no actual idea who i am or what i would truly do with my time, other than live the lifestyle that is EVE and smoke weed XD
Not that they're wrong or anything.

Surely, out of all the rich cats playing EVE seriously, someone would be looking to hire someone in a purely EVE related position.
This is a huge dream of mine XD |

I mean, just based on all the criteria for *not* wanting to playing this game majority hours of the day; i'm sure most of you see how this isn't a position that anyone would/could so easily fill.
While i'm sure there are people who play EVE that would love to say they want something like this, i doubt any of the willing contenders have the same enthusiasm, while also having a decent grasp of mechanics and diplomacy in EVE when it all comes down to it.
Not that i'm an EVEpro or EVEfamous, by any means, but this is something that i will continuously aim for. |

Im sure that when Basketball or Football or Hockey were invented as sports that people said the same thing. You will NEVER make money playing that stupid game!!
Remember if people watch Youtube videos of players, watch their friends playing, watch Twitch streamers. Remember this is where all normal physical sports started out too. People that competed watched each other compete, they then told friends that didnt compete "hey this guy is good!! come watch" and they did, then they told their friends and soon some smart guy started charging admission and making money off it, then Nike and shoe deals... but that was much much later.
So the next time people say you cant make money off games. Ask them about their favorite sports team and what the salary cap is this year for it. Then grin and laugh.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

Nothing is stopping you but your mandatory notice period.
Otherwise? Economics. If you want to play EVE and still afford sub/food/rent? Get paid to EVE by streaming it.

I'm trying to find postings for GM positions, but am having no luck :(
I remember doing this once before and finding open GM positions, but they were all non-english specified.
I'm only fluent in english and google translate. |
