If I have the knowledge and skills to work as a game developer for a video game company, I would take that option over trying to make money through streaming my games.
One of my cyber tech guys told me that the best ways hackers take over gamers accounts are through Data breaches, Cross-site scripting, and Credential stuffing. You can also add using weak passwords too.
The fear of the unknown in what's going to happen when they try to take it over the limit in the real life race would always hold them back from doing it but in the game's, they can do that and see the possible outcome. It helps them to know if it's something they might try in real life race.
We are part of our own problems today because under normal circumstances, things shouldn't be that way but it's what we have now and it's not going to change.
I know that feeling first hand and it's not a good one. I was out of a job for 5 months and couldn't get anything. I was majorly involved with doing minimal jobs to make ends meet. It was very difficult.
I do that often with most of my games because normally, money value never stays same for too long and with the inflation, you need to increase your spending budget.
You're absolutely right about that having me convinced on the game. I know it doesn't show me everything about the game but with that little opening on what to get in the game, I'm totally convinced.
There are gamers that are strictly for older video games because of how developers used to be innovative in creating the games unlike what's going with most new games now. These old games have more imaginative storyline and allows for more interactive experiences to the gamers.
