Besides that, nobody makes a living out of gaming 24/7 (pro gaming or even article writing) so who needs a financial income out of writing news when you probably already have a real life job (like i do).
So that you can make a living of what you enjoy doing.
Nothing wrong with wanting to make money. Although if the position as a writer is an non-monetary position, it's also fine, I'd be writing for SK without a doubt if they gave me the chance to do so.
Goodluck to whoever applies, may the least bias, least controversial and most entertaining person get the job!
