Who cares? The point of publicity is to garner attention from people who can be swayed. Exactly which of CNN's target demographics are going to pick up video gaming after watching this? It'd make more sense if a comedy network or kids channels did the story.

I dont understand why devoting your life to playing a game professionally is a waste.(Or so they make it sound, negitive and bad w/ the addiction)
Footballers devote their lives and is it called a waste? We all die so isn't everything a waste? We might as well spend our life doing what we enjoy.
Other then that..coverage is good.

Other than the campaign fotoage instead of actual multiplay i dont see it that bad at all, now more people know about sc2 and not just see it as just another video game you plug into that gamebox.

HAHA, the lady: "Tell us more about these, star... craft games." Reminds me of this shirt from the handsome nerd:

They could have done a better job though, I agree. But it don't think it's "killing eSports"

Kind of a shame they had to end the video on the topic of health problems and imposing government restrictions on gaming though :\

As a side note.. Does anyone else hate how blanket the term "Breaking News" has become?

That was better than I expected. It's unfortunate that they ended on a massively exaggerated topic, but it was still more fairly portrayed than I expected. That they implied that devoting your life to this is such a bad thing when the same wouldn't be said about other sports is unfortunate, but certainly not unexpected. Showing the singleplayer... well, it is part of the game, even if less important and nothing to do with WCG or any other events. It shows lack of research, but doesn't really have any negative impact.

Breaking News: Scheduled event happens on time. Yeah, it's pretty stupid.

The video looks fine to me. I just don't like how he inflects his sentences at the end to make them sound like questions.
