I've been wondering about different ways a passionate video game player can make money through his or her passion being around video game. 

Apart from streaming either on YouTube or twitch, which other ways can a gamer make money being around video games?

Try to get hired as a reviewer for a magazine or something like Game Informer. My girl has a subscription, and always goes straight to the reviews first. That's not an easy task to attempt though. As more games move towards open world, it would take a hell of a lot to give a game a whole and fair review, with as little bias as possible.

You could talk to @DC about possible freelance contributions to VGR and see if he would be willing to give you your start.
