    i'll pass~ reasons below

    1) Playing games is for entertainment and enjoyment.
    2) Getting paid to play a game is nice, but then you will be "forced" to play that same game for long periods of time.
    3) We all know a game will get bored if played excessively.
    4) From then on, gaming becomes a "job" - boring, tedious, and downright frustrating.

    play any games you want, any time you want, and quit/switch games whenever you want....that is how it should be imo.

    Er, well you say "getting paid to play games" then end with "this is something to do outside of games".

    Contradiction?

    Though if I had to guess you're offering money for someone to level your account or something. If so the Chinese already beat ya to it and probably for better prices. xD

    No, I'd rather get a job that is more beneficial to society.

    Paper or plastic?

    Fired for doing drugs, next guy comes in.

    Paper or plastic?

    ..or perhaps COLLEGE!!!! Not most of the world q_q

    Not that I condone playing video games for money anyways, unless it'll pay me more than a real job.

    ^ but the question still remains...will you be able to play a game like a job~? even when you start getting sick of looking at the game, will you still "play" it for the sake of receiving an income?

    I, for one, won't be able to tolerate that...no thanks.

    Could always do both anyway, have a full time job + make some extra cash doing something you enjoy.

    If Brawl didn't have such crappy online I would have done it for that.

    If I could make 2k a month or up after taxes doing it for about 5-6 hours of game time I would think about it. It would have to be something I enjoy playing a lot though and right now there's nothing out that I'd really want to spend that kind of time on.

    You might as well get paid to do something you normally do anyway.
