Interesting information, but look: >Many of the top players get 5000 to 7000 viewers every time they stream their games That is not very much... it would take about 400 years of to get the audience for a single Wimbledon tennis match. >Top level earnings for a handful of sports are much higher Well - just how large is that handful? Off the top of my head, basketball, baseball, soccer, NFL football, golf, motor racing, hockey, rugby, cricket, tennis all have top earnings an order of magnitude higher. But how about something more obscure... lets see... Australian Rules Football: highest paid player Gary Ablett Junior, US$ 2.0 million per year, EXCLUDING endorsements. Eh, lets go full retard: darts... wow, US$ 900,000 per year, that's prize money alone. So I think my point that peak earnings in professional sports are higher than in video games stands, at least for the time being.
