How many years does it take to be a pro gamer?

In reality, it’s not a measurable feat. It depends on how much time and effort you put into practicing and becoming better at the game intended.

Question

How do I become famous by gaming?

Community Answer

You could enter tournaments and start a YouTube channel where people can watch you game. You'll have to be patient, though. No one gets famous overnight.

Question

Can kids do gaming along with studies?

Annika Johnson

Community Answer

Of course! School should always be the primary focus, and as long as the student is not laser focused on gaming alone, then no problems should occur.

I got banned from my favourite game because I was being toxic, but I wasn't. What do I do?

Annika Johnson

Community Answer

Contact the company, and explain the situation. Chances are, they will be willing to hear you out and try to fix the problem if you really weren’t being toxic.

Question

l am gamer girl, I want to get well known and l want to start streaming, what should I do?

Annika Johnson

Community Answer

I would recommend first getting really good at a certain game. People will often admire you for your skill. Even if you are not great, as long as you love the game, then you have a reason to stream. Secondly, I would start making content on various platforms, such as Twitch, YouTube, and Tik Tok. This will give you more clout than if you were just streaming on twitch. From there, things will take time. No one becomes famous overnight.

Question

My Mum says I can only play computer games for an hour a day. Is there a minimum time requirement for being a gamer?

News article

Community Answer

For sure not, being a gamer is open and available to anyone, however much time you have to spare! You might want to ask your mum if you can play for a little longer if you feel you'll need the time though. Just explain to her why you want the extra time.

Question

I am only 9 years old and also a girl. Can I be a gamer ? I think I cannot because I am only 9 years old.

Community Answer

You can be a gamer, it's not age limited. Just get the needed equipment. If you want to post videos on the Internet of your gaming though, you must ask for permission from your parents as you're not yet old enough to use YouTube, etc. on your own (you need to be 13+ for that).

Question

I am confined to my wheel chair (disabled) and I want to be gamer. I am (car crash) not able to use my brittle fingers. My hand tics are really bad. I want to be gamer but not using my hands. What should I do?

Community Answer

Xbox has a controller for disabled people, and you could also maybe try the Xbox 360 connect. Maybe try the Wii if you want a tangible controller.
