If you're going to put the effort into posting in a thread, please do us all a favor of reading the entire thread before posting. If the thread is something like 100 pages, then I understand that you'll probably only read the first few pages / last few pages before posting. This thread is only 11 pages. If your opinion is so unimportant that you can't be bothered to read the whole 11 pages, then it's not important enough for us to spend time reading it either. e: well it became 12 while I was writing this post, but the point remains. | ||

Alot of people do not understand that Gheed likes competitive gaming, the tournaments, the fun, the passion, the concept that gamers can make money from winning. Gheed dislikes "E-Sports"- the drama, the bullshit, the taking everything way too seriously, the taking of oneself way too seriously. But I suspect that even this blatant explanation will go over many peoples' heads. EDIT: As the gentleman below me appears, point in case. EDIT2: Never mind. The person below simply lacks in mental facuilties in a general sense. | ||

I feel like we need some 'banner' to unify on. The more money we see flowing into the scene, the better the entertainment value has become. At least, that's the way it is for me. Aside from all the drama, all the name calling, I still love the fact that above all else, players are admired for their skills. | ||

I hope all the sponsors pull out when they realize that marketing $200 dollar video cards to 16 year-olds too cheap to even pay for GomTV subscriptions is actually not a very good business plan. i think advertising to 16 year olds is a great plan... i know i definitely had my most expensive computer parts back in the days when i was getting birthday/christmas presents from my parents. and when every penny i made was disposable income. i assume 16-22 year old males are the leading demographic for 200$ video cards.... | ||

Maybe for you, but whenever I play half the time it ends up being a balance discussion argument in the middle of the game, which then carries on through chat into the next for whatever reason. Another 25% of the time ends with "fucking newb l2p, Protoss/Terran/Zerg OP race" which just gets really annoying after the third or fourth time. | ||

I will concede, however, that "hurting esports" is used more than "killing esports." Just look at the Destiny thread from yesterday X.X | ||

What you and the OP fail to realize is that the drama, the bullshit, the nitpicking, the name calling, the taking everything way too seriously and the taking of oneself way to seriously is a general problem with society and it is found in major and established sports as well. You don't need to dig much to uncover sex scandals, racism scandals and other kind of bullshit related to real sports as well. So the entirety of the argument is irrelevant, if you want to hate on something, hate on this sick and twisted part of society don't bash on esports. | ||

I don't just like to play video games as you say.. In fact no other video game interests me. I don't have fun when I play Skyrim or D3. In fact, I don't purchase games like that. The only games I purchase or download or play at all are ones that have a potential to be competitive. When I bought starcraft, I didn't click on single player! In fact I've never played a single player mission of the campaign. Not even one. Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I hope you have fun playing video games while I get ready to watch the next big gsl match, and buy tickets to everything on the planet to support esports. Wait what? So you don't enjoy the video games but you continue to buy then O_o? | ||
