How much have you guys made in the gaming niche? and how?

Hello everyone, so first, i wanna share my experience, i've been a gamer for years, mainly playing a fewmmorpgs, and have made a more or less a respectable amount of cash from it by selling in game currencies in the past (sometimes 1000usd per month), so i'm curious if anyone here makes money from gaming, and how.

I'm around $$$ a month. Mostly with Youtube and Twitch.
I do stream and after every stream, collecting all the clips and make a youtube video out of it. Takes a lot of time but at the end of the month its all worth it.

I play consle & pc.

Most people earn from streaming basically. nothing too complicated.

well, i have some change in my steam wallet, so... (`)

Used to run GMOD Servers, netted about 4k in about 3 months when it was in its prime. Was pretty fun aswell.

Used to trade in CS:GO when it was worth it. Made around 2k$

Well, streaming has really come a long way since the exceeding progress of GPUs and CPUs continues to grow.
If you're going to be a PC gamer, you're going to want to invest a good $300-$400 USD into a decently running build - as well as make sure that your internet speeds (mainly upload for streaming purposes) are up-to-date and in compliance with optimal streaming performance standards.

However, you may go with the mobile gaming aspect and do it all from your device (gameplay, stream itself, etc) but this would require you to have a higher-end device, such as the Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+ for Android (or the OneTouch brand) and anything above the iPhone 7 for Apple.
