Games are everywhere, from your smartphones to inside messaging apps. They’ve quickly become one of the most popular entertainment options for the young and the old. But video games aren’t just for leisure; for some, they become an income generating source. So much so that earnings could even pay what you or your parents owe mortgage lenders.
You could earn money from this industry by winning in tournaments. Or you could ride the highly lucrative mobile gaming industry, which has racked up $16.9 billion in profits, by creating games like these popular titles.
