Is it hard for someone to be successful as a video game journalist?

Question

This isn't what I want to be, but I asked a person who is going to college for that why, and that person said, "Fame."

Well anyway, please answer the orginal question.

Answer 1

Basically, yes.

The market for such a specialized reporter is exceedingly small. Few media outlets publish such material. Some magazines do review, and a few newspapers do. Otherwise, it's tough.
