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.

The people who make footballs also earn less than a footballplayer ...

Wow, talk about difference in scales. Video Game, many man hours, using highly trained/educated skills to produce arguebly a work of interactive art. A ball, put together by a machine in 5 minutes (or an indian woman in 15). Besides we know Footballers are paid too much but the games industry is not one built on so much money (even then how many football clubs have gone bankrupt? sound similar to the way many games studios have closed no?).
