DEREK TAING
FAVORITE GAME OF ALL-TIME: APEX LEGENDS
The gaming industry, boasting a global revenue of over $135 billion, now outstrips the combined income of the music, entertainment, and major US sports leagues.
Yet, by 2022, the lion's share of these profits were claimed by game developers and platforms. This left passionate influencers, streamers, and pro Esports athletes—those truly driving the industry's growth—with mere crumbs.
Derek knows this imbalance all too well. A competitive gamer and content creator for half a decade, he navigated the challenges of games like Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, and Apex Legends. His dedication and competitive spirit enabled him to monetize a substantial audience, turning his gaming love into a livelihood. But he saw many peers, grinding 16+ hour days, still barely scraping by.
Recognizing the industry's glaring issue, Derek introduced FPS Lounge. More than just a platform, it's a mission to make gaming as a profession sustainable and fair. Designed by and for gamers, FPS Lounge aims to redirect the industry's wealth, ensuring that top-tier players are adequately rewarded. FPS Lounge stands as a beacon of change in the gaming world.
