In my humble opinion I believe that the so called "e-sports" are not sports in any way shape or form and are ruining what gaming used to be. Being what many would define as a nerd, you would expect me to agree with the concept. Alas I do not. I believe that video games were created to be fun and to act as a hobby. Not something to be done professionally and certainly not as a career. I find it deeply saddening that with competitive gaming on the rise, games like Mass Effect and Shadow of The Colossus, that tell very deep narrative like stories with complex themes and character development, will start to dwindle in favor of competitive games that are less of an art form and more of a cesspool of immaturity and racial bigotry. Targeted at work deprived adolescents and adult children who self-identify as "professional gamers."
