I just thought it was strange how as they talk about the APM of Starcraft players they flip to the cam of a WoW player running around in a city doing next to nothing, then someone watching a video online while smoking a cigarette.

im more insulted that the very little coverage esports gets from mainstream media, it always gets tied into something negative like "oh they so addicted, they are throwing away their lifes" , look at those people dieing from playing to much.



why not just report the wcg, say its a good event and wrap it up . Its like somebody reporting in for the Olympics and only focusing on the steroid use of some athletes.

It's half decent. Nothing too terrible about it. He put a bit too much focus on the "problems", but other than that, standard scratching-on-the-surfice journalism.

I like how Starcraft 2 is on a national TV station and the implications of such, but devoting a third of the video to a "problem" that doesnt even exist is kind of odd.
"How are you?" "I am fine, because it is not normal to scream in pain."

Keep in mind CNN's viewership is mostly middle-aged and older if I'm not mistaken. This story certainly seems geared towards that demographic. They're the only ones who would actually be so quick to bring up the "dangers" of video games.

Honestly, we should all be excited about this. The fact that the reporter SPECIFICALLY mentioned Starcraft is good, because there will be a few (not sure how many, just don't want to exaggerate) who will hear that and wonder "Hmm.... that sounds interesting. I wonder what other footage I can see?"

This is great publicity, imo.
A lesson without pain is meaningless for nothing can be gained without giving something in return.

If anything, shwoing the video from the campaign mode was even better because people who don't play a certain game get into it because it looks cool with flashy light and stuff and that campaign video certaintly had the flashy lights and everything needed to bring a person into a game where a real 1v1 might not have.

Someone have to uphold the stereotype!

I guess only money would change the way mainstream media covered these events. At least american.

It's fine. They're just showing the gameplay as eye candy. Also I doubt anyone who isn't a starcraft fan is going to notice that it's not actual multiplayer gameplay. Not a huge deal. The guy seems to have done a decent amount of research

Quite intriguing. I'm glad it's getting this exposure, even if they had to add in the silly part about how gaming is extremely harmful and will kill you.

Well, I like how they have to go like "Yea so people here play for money and stuff but don't get interessted in it or w/e. Let's not even talk about that tournament in fact. Let's talk about how gaming is evil and is going to slowly destroy or society."

Seriously...

Why are you getting antsy over them showing campaign? No-one who doesn't regularly play multiplayer is going to know the difference, and quite frankly no-one who regularly plays campaign goes to CNN for their SC2 news. It's easily obtainable, easily licensable, editable, sensible footage and there is nothing wrong with them showing it.
