Currently playing games will only waste someone's time especially the pay is not too much, because in my opinion it is better now to spend time on things like trading, because market conditions are suitable for doing that, so make your time more valuable now.
not really sure about the project that the OP mentioned, but nowadays streamer is one of the "jobs" or you can call it one of the best hobbies in the world. You can make it a source of income if you become a famous streamer, and of course you can also earn quite a lot of money there, so playing the game is not a complete waste of time.
