Paid to Play Video Games

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the pay-me-to-play-the-sims dept.

acehole writes "This would have to be every gamer's dream, to get paid for playing games. In South Korea gaming has taken off to an extent that companies sponsor gaming teams (some earn up to $100k per year) to play games up to 12 hours a day."

    A friend on irc told me to "go to bbcworld" and babbled something about someone making $100k a year, so I went to bbcworld.com and looked around but didn't see anything. So I stated my confusion and he said "tv". So I went to bbcworld.tv, but that domain doesn't really exist. So I asked again and only then I learnt he ment the tv station bbc world. Of course, at that time the docu was already over.
