It’s a simple question, “Is a career in video games for everyone?”, but it’s also a controversial one. What I mean when I ask this question is not speaking about whether or not anyone can handle it - which would be an entirely different discussion - but whether or not there’s a space in the industry for anyone from any background, race, and gender to thrive in.

On an individual level, having an understanding of branding and marketing is essential to some kind of success in playing games. Whether you are trying to make it as a pro or reaching people with streaming, it’s one of the main parts of your business model.
