Can you make real money by playing games?

If you grind hard enough then it could be possible but it takes time and work

Yes especially in bigger games like CSGO you can make a lot of money by trading items.

My favourite game is Red dead redemption 2
There is no other game with so many details

Streaming nowadays comes down to how you look rather your actual skill. If you were a girl with big boobs then I'd say go for it, you can make easy money. But since you probably are not, then you will need some HQ content. If you are really good in a game, then start streaming, make some giveaways etc. A second idea is to sell virtual items for money, usually MMORPG games have a lot of money in them, if you find really rare items, but quite frankly I find it a waste of time, better look for a job, and invest some of it in stock trading or real estate. Best of luck!

You can become rich by only steaming stupids game, Try just to target teenagers

If you are good at grinding out anything for a particular game, check out sites like playerauctions where you can sell in game items or accounts for currency. You have to be able to meet demand when you open up shop though. There are backend sites where you can trade currencies from one game to another via mole accounts and the like, but it takes a lot of checking stuff out.

you could make money by playing games and making family friendly montages and upload it on youtube. Look at pewdiepie he started back in 2012 with amnesia screaming on camera and now he's a multimillionaire with 100+ million subscribers.
Also guys, i remember him back in the time when he was buying views on forums when the rtsp youtube bug was discovered, golden times guys, golden times.

If you're really good at it and can play in tournaments to win prizes. Other than that selling profiles or in game gear to other players. Or streaming but that takes dedication and a lot of maintainence.

Not unless you're super entertaining or super competitive

Yes, esports is probably the best way to get some money.
