This friend is very fond of video games and has started live streaming online games on TwitchTV. He has about one-hundred subscribers and is making a small amount of money from ad revenue. John was just offered a paid sponsorship through a major gaming company, but in order to stream games for the amount of time required by the sponsorship, your friend has to quit his current full-time job. Your friend really trusts you and values your opinion, and so he came to you for advice. Do you think he should keep his job and continue gaming as a hobby, or do you think he should take the paid sponsorship to stream video games full time? Your recommendation should be in the form of an email that you would send to a friend. Although this is sent to a friend in an informal setting, this email should still use proper grammar and punctuation along with a salutation and closing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issues to Consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may want to consider the following issues but you are not limited to these.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Health risks associated with video gaming for long hours<\/li>\n<li>Time commitment<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty to \u201cmake it big\u201d in the industry<\/li>\n<li>Income<\/li>\n<li>Work environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PART A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Document List:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 1\/Doc 1<\/strong> &#8211; Green, Ollie. \u201cThese Streamers Make Millions In A Year &#8211; Here&#8217;s How.\u201d Gamebyte, Gamebyte, 13 Mar. 2018, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/fys\/files\/TheseStreamersMakeMillionsInAYear.pdf\">TheseStreamersMakeMillionsInAYear\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 2\/Doc 2 &#8211;<\/strong> Guarino, Ben. \u201cProminent Gamer Died during Live-Streamed Attempt to Play &#8216;World of Tanks&#8217; for 24 Hours.\u201d The Washington Post, WP Company, 23 Feb. 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/morning-mix\/wp\/2017\/02\/23\/va-man-died-during-marathon-attempt-to-play-video-game-for-24-hours\/?utm_term=.0ffd0bb7a33a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/morning-mix\/wp\/2017\/02\/23\/va-man-died-during-marathon-attempt-to-play-video-game-for-24-hours\/?utm_term=.0ffd0bb7a33a \u00a0<\/a>If you are unable to connect, use this PDF backup: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/fys\/files\/WashingtonPostArticle.pdf\">WashingtonPostArticle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 3\/Doc 3<\/strong> &#8211; Bean, Anthony M., et al. \u201cVideo Game Addiction: The Push to Pathologize Video Games.\u201d Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, vol. 48, no. 5, 2017, pp. 378\u2013389.,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/christopherjferguson.com\/Bean%20et%20al.,%20PPRP.pdf\">https:\/\/christopherjferguson.com\/Bean%20et%20al.,%20PPRP.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 4\/Doc 4<\/strong> &#8211; Wood, Austin. \u201cThe Runescape Lifers.\u201d Eurogamer.net, Eurogamer.net, 11 June 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2017-11-06-the-runescape-lifers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2017-11-06-the-runescape-lifers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 5\/Doc 5<\/strong> &#8211; Beck, Kellen. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/fys\/files\/Doc-5_Tune-in-to-the-Mister-Rogers-Neighborhood.pdf\">Tune in to the &#8216;Mister Rogers&#8217; Neighborhood&#8217; Marathon on Twitch<\/a>.\u201d Mashable, Mashable, 19 Mar. 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/2018\/03\/19\/mister-rogers-neighborhood-twitch-marathon\/#Yusjrb_xcZqI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mashable.com\/2018\/03\/19\/mister-rogers-neighborhood-twitch-marathon\/#Yusjrb_xcZqI<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 6\/Doc 6<\/strong> &#8211; \u201cThe Realities of Being a Full Time Twitch Streamer?\u201d Reddit, Reddit, 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Twitch\/comments\/27i4k0\/the_realities_of_being_a_full_time_twitch_streamer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.reddit.com\/r\/Twitch\/comments\/27i4k0\/the_realities_of_being_a_full_time_twitch_streamer\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ques 7\/Doc 7<\/strong> &#8211; Keilman, John. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/fys\/files\/Doc-7_Celebrity-Pals-Fans-Millions-of-Dollars.pdf\">He&#8217;s Got Celebrity Pals, Millions of Fans and (Probably) Millions of Dollars: Meet Ninja, Chicago&#8217;s &#8216;Fortnite&#8217; Superstar.<\/a>\u201d Chicagotribune.com, Chicago Tribune, 2 Aug. 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/ct-met-ninja-fortnite-video-games-20180801-story.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/ct-met-ninja-fortnite-video-games-20180801-story.html#<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part B:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #121616\">Go back to the Microsoft Word document and explain what other information would have helped you understand the topic better and how you might <\/span>fi<span style=\"color: #121616\">nd that information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part C:\u00a0<\/strong>Reread the scenario above.
