esports is actually going to be an even bigger thing and its funny the amount of people who can't admit it will lol

it probably won't be in the olympics though

Yeah I agree. The reason I don't think it will be in the olympics is because then its getting to the point where olympic events are commerials for specific video games. It would start to get into really shady territory when different games are all trying to become olympic esports, and how would the olympic comittee determine which games are? It would come down to a who bribes them enough to vote their game in and vote their competitors game out. Its not like Chess or something where any company in the world can make a chess set, it would be some video game publisher advertising their video game for anyone watching around the world. Its just way more complicated then say adding Women's Rugby or something

Even if Esports reach the point where its that big and that respected, which it will, I still think the Olympics would never allow it because some sort of outcry would happen.

because sports require some sort of physical movement. chess isn't a sport

fake edit I googled before pressing submit and apparently the IOC says chess is a sport.

well. um. ok I guess starcraft can be in the olympics some day, there is no argument against it.

Esports should just make their own olympics.

Only making their own olympics raises the issue of which games in each genre will be represented, and who is hosting it.

I mean thats basically what we have now, except no one refers to the event as the olympics and the prizes are money instead of stupid medals, and the players aren't forced to team with their countryman. Each company hosting their own major event, and then some major events that feature multiple games

I guess what I mean is you can have an event in the Olympics and call it "The MOBA Event" but then which one of those games do you use?

whichever one pays the most money to the people who make that decision

Thats kind of why this gets complicated. Ecco brings up the Chess example, but at least with Chess there is only one version, and anybody in the world can produce and sell a chess set. Its one thing to make a game an event, and a completely other one to make a specific product an event, which is what would be happening if they chose one Moba to be an olympic event at the exclusion of its competitiors

You guys are lucky I am already fond of you because "sportsball" and "handegg" are two of the biggest, loudest indicators that someone is an insufferably smug nerd. Reducto ad absurdum is the lamest, cringiest "humor" shortcut.

Also we play mafia with internet strangers, we are the rock throwers in the glass house of stupid games.

I say sportsball sometimes and I'm an active athlete.

One time I said I couldn't make my DnD game because the Yankees were in the World Series and my group made fun of me. I am the dumb jock of my friends. :(

I'd love to see the olympics "produce" their own MOBA.

I hate MOBAs and the Olympics are an atrocity, so they definitely deserve each other.
