>Wake up >"E-Sports" still exist >"Competitive"

it's already popped, what you're seeing now is geniune sustained interest in esports

>>379246747
Why don't you tell us what's wrong with it?

>>379246821
Because video games should be fun

CAN'T WAKE UP

>>379246867
What if I'm having fun playing competitively?

The esports bubble popped like 15 years ago.

t. casual

Then you should be killed. You shits were fine as a fringe group, but now video game companies pander to you, so games no longer have passion put into them, but rather competitive viability. This is a bad thing and you need to fuck off. Just my thoughts

>>379247127
That's a problem in the industry in general you dumb nigger

>>379247241
Fuck you. Wanting games to be """"""""""""""""""""""""""""competitive"""""""""""""""""" perpetuates it

>>379247127
Actually, if companies wanted to pender to competitive players they would put more depth into the game, therefore more effort.
Just my thoughts though.

>>379247127
you're fucking wrong

if a company panders exclusive to the competitive audience and ignores the casual audience, they'd completely fuck up their playerbase. this is why companies don't actually do this.

look at overwatch - it has a competitive scene, but balancing is based off of the casual base. the only company that possibly does this is valve with dota 2, but everybody that plays dota 2 is part of the competitive playerbase. you don't play dota 2 casually without putting a ton of hours in it to learn it.

also, very specific types of games are viable as esports. this doesn't happen to every game.

What exactly is "wanting" games to be competitive? All the genres that were the ones that were competitive in the first place are the ones being pushed. I play fighting games and I certainly don't want them to be less competitive. I would like them to be good though which SFV isn't which is a shame it's the most pushed game. I get not like all the corporate behind this stuff but wanting competitive genres to not be competitive is just brain dead.

>i play for fun :D

It does not take a lot from a company to impress the crowd that love games to be """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""competitive"""""""""""""""""""""""
>>379247597
Overwatch sells on being """"Da next e-sport""" that all those cool gooks in Koreatown play for 20 hours a day
>>379247641
Games should be fun.

this
it's all progression grinding now

the reason mmos have faded away is because they put the progression and ranking up elements under the name of "competitive matchmaking ladders"

>>379247781
You don't get what that anon is saying. Games labeled and marketed as "e-sports" are still not made for competitive play in mind. MOBAs and shit like Overwatch are designed for the casual player in mind 100%. There would be far less forgiving mechanics and more clear skill gaps if it was made to actually be competitive. Do you honestly think most hardcore players want comeback mechanics in their games? No, but it helps give shit players a chance to taste victory and gets those "hype" moments on twitch.

>>379248063
Anything can be competitive, and that's the problem, I can't seem to get rid of it. Games should operate in this way and this way only: You purchase a game, you play it casually (the only way games were meant to be played), and when it runs out of fun things to offer you, you stop playing. But """competive" players don't do this, they just keep going because hey man its """""""""""""competitive"""""""""""""

good job evading all of the fucking points i've made you fucking retard cunt

>>379246747
It's fine if you're not a competitive person, but don't get mad at people that enjoy it. Fighting games are great, and you would probably enjoy them if you were so awful at them and or an anxiety riddled bitch boy.
