🎮 HE LOST HIS JOB DURING THE PANDEMIC AND PAID FOR HIS SISTER’S UNIVERSITY EDUCATION BY PLAYING
I can’t stop thinking about how 26-year-old Dominic Lumabi, from Manila, lost his job at an advertising agency in the middle of the pandemic and found a way to support his family through Axie Infinity. Playing about 2 hours a day, he earned between 8,000 and 10,000 pesos a month, around 155 to 195 dollars—almost half of what he earned as a night-shift moderator.
With that money, he paid his sister’s university tuition, bought groceries, and covered the household bills. He lives there with his parents and four sisters, and his father’s electrical repair business was no longer bringing in enough. He earned $SLP , the game’s currency, Smooth Love Potion.
I think the most striking thing isn’t the amount—it’s that a game let him support his family at the worst possible time, without asking anyone for anything.
Can you imagine a game paying your household bills?
