"Like everything in life, video games have their good and bad side. With the good, is the possibility of "crazy" fun, the development of certain intellectual and sensory abilities, and in the case of some games there is the educational component. Negativity comes to the surface when players spend hours and hours in front of the screen, ignoring their obligations, losing their health and neglecting social skills. There is constantly more talk about the bad influence that games can have on children, although statistics show that passionate players come from all age groups and that there are more adults who are actively playing.

In any case, the video games industry is constantly evolving, and is one of the areas least affected by the economic crisis. There are also interesting new trends. One of them is the professional playing of some games and organizing public tenders and tournaments in sports halls and in front of a large audience. Such competitions are called "e-sports" and a number of players who join the professionals in life deal exclusively with playing video games. Where there is a audience, there are commentators. Fans of games that are not good enough to participate in contests, little by little began commenting on the competition and providing the audience with all necessary information, as well as the classic sports events. Lately, some of the most successful commentators have gone into the pros, or are paid for their work and recognized in the world of e-sports.

Although some of these stories seem like a dream come true, it should be understood that professionally engaging in any activity, be it playing or commenting on video games, requires a serious commitment, hard work and a lot of sacrifice. In this way, these new occupations are no different from all the others. What may seem as if they're just having a good time is nothing new - anyone who loves their job enjoys it and does it wholeheartedly, whichever profession is in question."
