The concept of making money from gaming is still very odd to me, sure there must be backing for it, any type of 'game' has a competition and therefore prizes. It truely highlights the gap between normal entertainment and interactive kind (music/movies to games). Really though I find it more odd from the fact these people are making money of someone elses production which could be more than the people that made it to begin with. 500k a year? I'm sure the sound director or hit detection promgrammer who worked endless hours to give the guy the opporunity to make that money is enjoying his 40k a year job.

I guess it depends on views or subscribers, or whether they class it as their job or a hobby as well. I think LegendOfThunder still works a day job, I don't think Chris Smoove does. While XboxAhoy doesn't but he also does journalism I think, infact many video youtubers or people who do internet videos based on games are generally journalists as well as gamers. It gives them an edge.
Hmm, pie.
