The video game industry is enormous would be a gross understatement. In fact, it is so large that it is generating more revenue this year than the combined music, film, and book publishing industries! The gaming industry is experiencing tremendous growth; it is currently worth $300 billion and is predicted to reach an astounding $321 billion by 2026.

The eSports scene sees thousands of players compete in professional tournaments for jaw-dropping amounts of money. For instance, in 2022, Dota 2 had the eSports game with a giant tournament prize pool worth 32.85 million US dollars. 

Looking into esports games by genre is a good idea if you want to play video games for a living because some game genres pay very well. They offer massive prize pools. For example, consider action role-playing games (RPGs). Pokemon Unite is the highest-grossing esports franchise of all time. Currently, Pokémon is worth $71 billion. Melty Blood: Type Lumina, the most popular fighting game, has a massive prize pool. It is fair to say that card games, like Shadowverse CCG, also have an enormous prize pool.
