# How Axie Infinity became a living for some players?

The COVID-19 pandemic added an undesirable page into our lives from 2020 to the current time. [Numerous businesses have closed down](https://fortune.com/2020/09/28/covid-buisnesses-shut-down-closed/), [the stock market crashed for a while](https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/08/investing/stock-dow-futures-coronavirus/index.html), [many were left jobless](https://www.bworldonline.com/jobless-rate-seen-to-remain-high-until-mid-2021/), and a lot more “not-so-good-news” along the way.

To get through this pandemic, having a source of income is crucial. And this is where Axie Infinity’s Play-to-Earn mechanics had an important role with the players.

With all that being said, many players find this game attractive, and many have [earned way beyond the minimum wage](https://bitpinas.com/news/axie-infinity-earn-money-playing-axie-infinity/). It is also amazing to hear that some considered this as a way to put food on their table.

When you get accepted into a program, if you're an Axie Infinity scholar you can enjoy their benefits, such as training from the mentors, profit sharing, and many more (depending on the terms you agreed on).
