As a experienced game analyst, I am now sure that E Sports are now one of the factions in the industry that have retarded gaming's growth.

Firstly let me start off with one simple fact, casuals only like cool stuff. Look at E sports, it's a bunch of lonely nerds grouping together to play games and cheer each other's miserable lives on. It is nothing more than a upgraded Dungeons and Dragons meetup. Now if a hot girl, let's a 10/10 you meet at the bar asks if you play any sports and you go. "Yeah, I play E Sports LAWL!!!" You have just cockblocked yourself from getting laid. Any sane person with a social life will not take E' Sports seriously. A minor league baseball player can probably beat up a Counter-Strike team by himself. If E Sports was to go on, it will just make gaming even more less hip, if it becomes popular then that's a disaster for the industry altogether, we are sure to lose all the casual gamers.

Now you might be thinking, South Korea says otherwise. Wrong, I have lived in South Korea for many years and I can guarantee you the old legendary Boxer is only merely idolized by some fat chicks and no life men. Even the newer players like Flash and Jaedong do not garner much support. With the leagues splitting now due to the Starcraft 2 and Brood Wars, E Sports in South Korea will only weaken. If you ask any cool kid at school in Korea who their sporting hero is, then they will most likely reply Park Ji Sung or Lee Chung Yong, Korean footballers, only the fat kid eating too much Bulgogi will say Jaedong.

Look at MLG and how many years it has been going. It has tried many different formats yet all of them have failed, never garnering more than a few thousand people. Even county cricket has more spectators than this so called 'sport'...even the Welsh Premier League. This just shows that E-Sports, despite fifteen years of growth is still a mere Bellsprout, it will never become that all endearing Victreebell that will poison the minds of casuals.

---------------

Now onto the PC gaming part. E Sports are mainly played on PCs, this is because PC gaming takes the most 'skill' (reflexes and mental thinking). If PC gaming was eradicated then the evil troll that is E Sports will not be able to live on to try and destroy the popular image of gaming formed by the hardwork of Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo.

If PCs altogether did not exist, not only will there be less pirated games since consumers will have no way of pirating games but it will allow the superior developers such as Bioware, Activision and etcetra to mainly focus on the console platforms. The next Fallout, Call of Duty and Battlefield will be even more optimized, have more achievements and trophies, more content and better graphics. This is because they won't ahve to spend hundreds of hours porting it and testing it on the billions of variations of PC hardware that exists!

------------

Thank you for reading.

If PCs did not exist we would have no video games. And you are no more an experienced game analyst than i am a magical flying bottle of dish soap.

Who is this 'guy'? You are missing the point. I am sure the average E Sport gamer will be virgins their whole life and give the gaming industry and console gamers a bad image. This person is only 6/10.

This is a troll thread, right?

[spoiler] CONSOLE PIRACY EXISTS. [/spoiler] If there was no PC, what makes you think people wouldn't pirate console games more to compensate?

If PCgaming dies the whole industry dies or in most optymistic case it's so badly crippled it will never be able to recover again.

Fortunatelly for everyone, it's pretty much impossible for pc gaming to die.

Well, you should talk to your family. Most likely they do not know E Sports exist, if they do they'll chuckle and say they would never game because of it. Yes, as a qualified homosexual, I am rating him.

Listen pal, I do not care if you are asexual, heterosexual, or one of the homosexuals I did not ask... Why are you acting like it makes a difference. I am not predjudice.

The fact is that you are ranking the attractiveness of others on System Wars and that kind of stuff does not belong here. My brother actually watches e-sports and of course my mom and dad do not know... They are from a different generation.

Chess is technically a sport and so are "e-sports" because they require skill albeit more mental skill.

Nikasaur>your thread. Also Riot had 50k+ viewers on their LoL stream during NESL. There goes your claims of only a couple thousand. Also, keep in mind this is LoL, a game that isn't nearly as popular as SC2 or COD.

I do not care what he says he is or not. I do what I do because it is the right thing. You can not let people say wrong things and then say "OH I AM JUST TROLLIN SO I AM NOT WRONG AND YOU ARE THE ONE WHO GOT PWNED" If you do not take what they say serious then you are enabling the behavior of pulling the "troll card" which is where when someone gets proven wrong they say they are trolling. Trolls are non-existent anyways because we are all people and it is just another label. When you call someone a troll you label their negative behavior acceptable because they are "just a troll". Whether he believe in what he typed or not is irrelevant to me. It is my duty to disprove anything in a forum that goes against my views or beliefs. Maya Angelou said "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.". If I do not stand against something for the fear of being "trolled" then the users who call themselves trolls win. E Sports are sports. A Sport is :An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others. Chess and video games involve physical exertion no matter how minimal. I am sick of people telling me that my 7 years in chess club was a waste of time. I am sick of people telling me that I am a wimp and need to pick up a football. I am sick of being walked on and watching others suffer and be trampled for enjoying themselves, pursuing their passions, or expressing their beliefs.

I am talking about live events. If you want to talk about television or online streaming then that's where E Sports is even more lacking. 50k is nothing to the hundreds of millions of viewers for the Summer Olympics or the FIFA World Cup.

You say e-sports and PC gaming stunt the growth of gaming...

then say every game should be modern military shooters.

Some analyist you are to be so god-awfully wrong. You are no analyist, just some angry person who didn't get what he wanted.

I'm sure it's mostly because people don't know your credentials. If you will explain where do you work and your professional achievemens I'm sure people here will be more receptive to your predictions.

Sooo, apart from the obvious Flamebait, IF you were a budding Analyst, and had the strange notion that you wanted to see the elimination of the platform in gaming which drives the innovation of the industry, AND the one that garners the most income per sold game (and overall growth). I would say that you are quite the bad analyst. The cheap entry and low stakes at the PC platform, allows Devs and Pubs, to make investments, in new games, and mechanics with fear of little to no loss of overall capital, where on a console, you have a select few games who earns ALOT of money, most does not, and it is so expencive, that "sure fire" games are the only things investers dare to make (also see, cardbord copies of existing games).

Aint there something in the industry that goes the lines of "If all the games mimicks eachother, then saturation point reaches its peak fast".

Then as a average gamer, I would say that the average PC gamer, is usually known as the Nerds, they know thier stuff, none social (hermits on these boards) but not really more negative then console gamers whos image usually are portrayied (throughout the media) as lazy couch potatoes, and overweight teens, with a habit of killing sprees).

So No, the Image to begin with is bad for all groups of gamers, just like it was, with radio, movies, and tv before it. HEck TC has a bad Image of roleplayers, just as a side point.

Truth is that most people who game are quite normal looking, and one can rarely see the average league player. WE will all just have a bad image till the older gens die out, or the media stops portraying everything gaming like the devil.
