I played competitive Starcraft and then Warcraft III with several friends. One still works as a cashier in a grocery store. One works in IT support. One works for the gov't as a bureaucrat. I also played WoW with a lot of people. Out of ten people who I still keep in touch with, none did exceptionally well at making money. All of these games were major addictions for me, and I'm kind of glad I'm out of that phase. If some of the people I played with spent as much time doing anything else as they played video games, they would have moved mountains. But perhaps that is not the point. We had a lot of fun, and it was a very enjoyable time for everyone involved. And maybe that is the most important thing.
