Interesting feature. The supportive response from parents was nice - playing with company definitely multiplies the fun. Most statistics seem plausible. The only surprising one was the average playing time. I definitely play for more than an hour. One hour is hardly anything unless its a super-short brawl or car race or the like, seems very casual, though I suppose we're all time poor. As a sidenote, the super-spy banner and generic stock images are hilarious.
Interesting read. I doubt e-sport could really take off here in Australia. In addition to the technical issues we have here regarding the internet, realistically, there'd be plenty of raised eyebrows if told that was your career. Gaming for me is escape from work. If gaming was my work then I'd personally feel like something's misaligned. I'd much rather my current job where I make a contribution to society and help others every day, and clearly distinguish work from play. That's one thing that makes gaming that much sweeter - that it's pure fun.
