Hi! I've just finished watching Free to Play movie. It is documentary created by Valve. It is a movie that tell us about a journey of Dendi, Fear, and hyhy. They dedicate their life into DotA, a game. DotA is one of the most played team play game until now and those three tried to live their life to be the best within the world and get paid for doing it. Like every other team sport, to win the game, you need teamwork, sacrifice, and trust. Until today, gaming is not a viable career for almost any people I've ever met. They thought, game is a hindrance for their or their children to reach success. Is it what success looks like? Go to college, graduate, work at big companies, and then reach the top of the career? Gaming is only for fun? Playing games is childish? This movie answers all that questions.
Most of the communities think that game is a only a source of entertainment, but there are people believe that game is everything they ever have. They really dedicate them self to gaming even though they know it would be hard for them to make a living from it. They just following what they want really do in their life. I do really appreciate them. I know it was ridiculously hard to make a career in gaming as there are a lot of barrier like, parents, social pressure, and having no salary. Some people turned down gaming, some of them persist despite the dreadful condition. Those people, against all odds, keep struggle until they become the best of the world and proud of it. Why?
One thing I really admire from them is that they always has the courage to follow what they want to do. They have been so adamant about it until the point that they prepared to sacrifice a lot of things to make it possible. I believe that this determination is the things that makes us, humans, alive. Most people think that trying to reach their dream is impossible. They afraid that their action will hurt people they love. They afraid they will face defeat in their journey. Dendy, Fear, and hyhy comes from different backgrounds, but they face the same obstacles. Their parents forced them to stop, their families do not support them, they suffer loses more than your average gamer guy, and bleak financial future haunts them, yet they still persist. Why?
The answer is so simple yet so complex, until so many people do not follow the answer. They do it because they are happy doing it. They are happy to have a shot to be the best of the world at something. Dendi said that for him, the game is not just a game, it is everything. If I into the gaming ecosystem, I would put myself into Valve's shoes. I want to make a platform that could facilitate people on doing what they really want to do.
From this movie, I learnt that it is not about what are you doing, but how intense is you feeling toward what are you doing. It is okay whether you are a working gamer or any kinds profession. The real question is that are you really satisfied with what you do? When you really fight for want you want, that would be the time that you will feel very lively. I hope you found what you really want to and dedicate your life for that. Thank you. :D
