Geek has taken earning a living through his hobby to another level by hiring others to play games

A self-styled geek has taken earning a living through his hobby to another level - by starting a business and hiring others to play computer games. James Hunt, 28, hopes to achieve a £500,000 turnover within 12 months by streaming popular games like Fortnite, Fifa and Mario Kart online through his company HYPD.
Unlike most streamers who work alone, James has set up office in a business park and will also employ other gamers to work for him - for £8-an-hour.
