[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8154807, member: 7023840"] I really don't understand why you are making this argument. There are plenty of DMs (as this is a growing field) that are hustling to make money. It's a job. People need to make money. There was an article last year about a woman who, when unemployed, supported her gender transformation by DMing on-line games because she couldn't get employment through regular means. I know someone who currently works at a Dunkies during the day and makes ends meet by DMing for pay (on-line) at night. They don't do it because it's fun. They do it because they get paid. [I]Just like everyone else who works. We work to get paid. [/I] EDIT: given the rise of the so-called "gig economy" and recent issue people have had with the covid-induced downturn, it does seem ... wrong ... to continue to make this argument. I just don't see what your point is. If a person who is working is having fun, that's great. That has no bearing on their payment. And it is certainly not true that "a creative" has to "have fun" to be good; a lot of creative work is drudgery. [/QUOTE]
