      That is a lot of resentment about someone making money off a hobby. Do you cry about people making money in chess tournaments too?

        The irony in these nerds attacking WoW nerds.

        Edit: for the record, I’m a nerd. But I’m a live and let live nerd.

        Except professional chess players exist.

        That’s like saying “I can’t believe LeBron James makes money from his basketball hobby.”

            That’s my entire point. OP equating people who stream/make content/and play WoW out to be hobbiests.

          There were hardly people here who are James LeBron level when it comes to WoW, a lot of them are in fact closer to hobbyists and the tournament itself was not even close to NBA level. Both chess and basketball have hobby level tournaments that have prize money on the line.
