Games Without Frontiers.(Sujoy Roy, professional video game player)(Brief Article)(Interview)
Sujoy Roy had a promising career ahead of him as an investment banker with JP Morgan in New York. Until January 2000, when he quit for a life of... videogaming? The decision was a "no-brainer," says the 26-year- old Briton. Roy recently enlightened PERI's Christopher Dickey and Marc Scanlan:
What do your folks think of all this game playing?
They're traditional Asian parents--they were pleased when I went to university at Cambridge and got a City job.
You're said to have earned more playing videogames than you did at JP Morgan.
Yeah. That was really the clinch for me. While I was at Morgan I was offered a sponsorship deal which pretty much doubled my salary without me having to do any work at all.
What kind of money are we talking about?
At Morgan, around $50,000 a year. [I] also had all the benefits and an apartment paid for me, and expenses, in New York, which is quite a lot. For the gaming, in sponsorship alone I had $200,000.
