I don't think you will ever be able to make to much money for playing crappy video games. There are sites for that, but the games are normally boring, and you just have to see tons of adds, because they are the ones paying the site.
There are however new technologies emerging that will make your gaming experience better, and could even allow you to profit from the passion for games. I think one good example for that would be the Enjin Coin that will allow to buy and sell game items across multiple gaming platforms, or earn coins by playing games. You can also create items, or other virtual goods, yourself and sell them using their coin across multiple platforms, and all of that done in a secure and decentralized way.
