If you want to make money in games, then start MAKING games. Learn python, C, or some Unreal engine. Playing games is just entertainment, like going to an art show.

You can try to stream, but you have to be funny, really amazing or female showing off your body. If you start to play around with making games and learning code. You can get a real job using it and make games on the side.

Game tester will kill your love for games. You get a small segment of a title and play it probably 5k times. Walking around, finding bugs, and recording what you found. It’s not “fun”.

Code. It’s the best option.
