Are E-Sports real sports? What's your opinion on e-sports?

If there are people willing to watch that shit, let them.

They're realer than real sports... they're hyper real... e-sports are in every conceivable way more high IQ than real sports............... also n*****s dominate in real sports but not in e-sports............................

But doesn't it breed obesity and degeneracy?

They're competitions, not sports.

Compare them to chess tournaments. Why there is no chess tournament during Olympic Games?

You're acting like there aren't real sports where the competitors are in ever worse shape than e-sports shit.

because chess is not an olympic sport? there are lots of sports that aren't at the olympics.

>tfw tug of war used to be an Olympic sport but isn't anymore.

The thing with e-spoerts is that they're completely dependant on a single company that also holds all rights to them, they just can't be treated as other sports because of that.

So was sculpture and poetry.

No. esports is pure marketing for a video game an not much else. Shit like Brood War in Korea was real since Blizzard didn't even give a shit about its existence for a long time.

Just imagine ad people jerking off in an office about a new form of advertising that people like to watch.

What's the point of buying games when there is full footage of the game online which you can watch with adblock on?

We have fidget spinners tournamets now?

Many of these games are f2p so I'm not sure what your point is. Even if you don't play it you'll eventually talk to someone about it and thus it becomes successful marketing.

>Are E-Sports real sports?
No, but they are a legitimate skill-based competitive scene. It's not a sport until you have to be in shape to do it.
> What's your opinion on e-sports?
If people enjoy watching that shit, hey, why not? Each to their own.
> Should we pay these fat fucks to play video games?
We? No. Their sponsors, and the hosts of the competition? Yes.
> (Same for youtubers)
Now that's a wholly different question.

Why the hell would I buy the game someone else likes? Different people like different things. I will watch the game on youtube, form my own opinion and never buy it. What's the point? I already know the ending and have an opinion on the game. I'm not giving money to companies using DRM and lying to people to sell them pre-order shit.

damn this guy is like the coolest person on earth 8')

>>376993984
I sure am. Never paid more than 3 dollars for a game and it was always a physical copy. Buying games on release is retarded. The Devs release buggy messes nowadays and use early adopters to bug test their shitty games for free.

>i have no opinion whatsoever

Fixed that for you.

>>376994287
I don't need to pay greedy fucks to have an opinion, you know?
