I don't think I would commit suicide if this were to happen, but I think I'd consider it...

Re: Gaming as an Olympic Sport?

The problem I see with making gaming a spectator sport is that it's so accessible. Why would I watch a bunch of people play video games... when I can load up my own and go at it?

And you can't go running on your own? Play soccer on your own? Rifle marksmanship on your own? Swimming and diving on your own?

C'mon, man, you can take just about any Olympic sport and go at it anytime you want! WITHOUT a $2000 computer, too! Put down the mouse and go outside. Now.
