I play some video game almost every day.  It's my way to relax
Oh okay I see, I know alot of people who do that. What platform do you use? 
Mainly I play on PC, but I just got a PS4 and have been using it a lot
Nice I have one too, I love it. Its the eighth generation home video game console they (sony) have developed
I didn't get one when they initially came out, but now that there is a good game catalog it seems worth it
Yes that usually takes a little bit of time to happen. The PSVR is pretty cool too. The video game industry employs thousands of people around the world, that would be a cool job wouldnt it?
I've had some friends in the industry, and they don't enjoy it.  There are a lot of lay-offs and the pressure leading up to releases is immense.
Oh wow yeah that sounds miserable. I would think the money is good though? The industry made about 9.5 billion in 2007 and 25.1 billion in 2010 in the US
I think that it does pay well, but often they work as contractors so they aren't getting benefits, like healthcare.  
Oh that makes sense. What about people who actually play them for a living instead of developing or selling them? Like some people consider playing video games to be a type of art.
That does seem to be a new industry. There is a lot of money in entertainment in watching eSports or people playing on Twitch.
