  • I felt like I had to make this video since the media has such a negative mindset on gaming and eSports.
    If you feel the same way about this topic, PLEASE spread the word about Gaming and eSports. So we finally get some appreciation from the bigger public and can escape from this ignorant attitude towards gaming.

    I don't see how it's bad. I mean in some cases you have to be born and train a lot to be an athlete. Some people with disorders or weight problems can turn to gaming for a sport career. It opens up jobs and new possibilities while giving even the most unfit people a chance in fame and competitive challenges against others.

    If you wear the wrong shirt in a certain area in a certain city at the wrong day you will get beaten up by some radical football fans. If I wear a shirt of any CS:GO team no matter what color it is any other eSport fan will be happy to see me :)
    This sport is as peaceful as it is a sport. People just judge because they never played it. This is a interactive medium. People won't understand it if they are never using it. And driving a golf caddy and let someone else carry your bag is in my opinion just a obscure tradition of some rich guys. To the people that say it isn't exhausting: First: It is. Playing two Best of 5 back to back on a stage in front of a yelling crowd is tiring. Second: Chess is considered as a sport. The moves are exactly the same as in eSports: Moving a hand while sitting on a chair.
    I hope some day CS:GO and other games will be accepted and people rethink their sometimes stupid statements as shown in this video.

    The problem is, they are so ignorant because one, they don't have any knowledge of what a gamer or a video game actually is, two, these kinds of people think they are know at alls and see it as an addiction.
    I couldn't count to three like Gaben. Oh well.
    But a serious addiction is where you spend ALL OF YOUR TIME. I repeat, ALL OF YOUR TIME playing a video game, sitting there on your ass, not caring about the people around you, not standing up once, drinking energy drinks which by the way, all are extremely bad for your health. That is how I see a gaming addiction. A gamer like me, I prefer to be physical and active, it's just my social life is difficult, suffering with Autism and Learning Difficulties, I use gaming as a way to meet new friends and improve on socializing which I struggle with.
    Gaming is my way to waste time too. I don't just game though, sitting at a computer doesn't mean that you're gaming, a lot of people get that wrong sometimes. I also write stuff (Fiction, speeches, messages), draw artwork, edit videos, modify/write scripts for games (Source games, using configs to create my settings) and outside of that is a lot more.
    You know what a bad parent is? a parent who says "Games took my child's life" when really, they were not controlling their child correctly. If a child actually died playing a game non-stop and the parents blame the game for that. They are only using it as an excuse to not get the blame.
    It is a stupid world we live in. British teens grow up to be girls with no knowledge of anything. Whilst gamers usually end up with good knowledge.

    @camdenfreilinger9695 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    My best friend happens to be one I spend a lot of time online with. Yes, I originally met him in person, but we didn't become solid friends until we started playing video games together. We literally grew up playing what we loved together despite only seeing each other in person maybe once a year. I've spent over half of my life being friends with him and we've helped each other through some pretty tough s**t. Idk what I'd be like if I didn't have his influence and companionship for these last 10ish years. Literally, if I didn't have video games to play with him we likely wouldn't be anywhere near as close as we are now or maybe we wouldn't even have stayed friends. But video games have been a blessing for our friendship and has been a wonderful way to bond together. Anybody who says online friends aren't real friends clearly doesn't understand the core of what being friends mean. It means sticking through thick and thin, growing a mutual respect, understanding, and compassion for each other. It means helping unconditionally. All of which can be done with online friends. So please, if you don't believe online friends are real friends then reevaluate what you truly appreciate about with your friendships and ask yourself, "Are penpals real friends?" You likely rarely meet them in person, but still can maintain a strong connection with them despite living across the globe. Clearly, visual and/or physical contact isn't necessarily for friendship, so stop pretending it does. And as for the anonymity, I understand why that should be a concern, but consider how 2 people who met online were to begin a friendship in the first place. You're not going to just become friends with any rando you come across. Just like in real life, it takes trust and respect to spark a friendship. It's no different online.

It's the fuckin' media, what do you think?! I mean who wants to read an article when the title says "People enjoy video gaming more today", no, nobody, they write articles that sound appealing such as "Kid played GTA for 10 hours later found guilty for murder", what people don't think about is that, that is one guy out of like 500 million or more that play video games.

I could play golf regularly or I could play golf with a mental condition then shoot up a school. 1 in 500 million kids who killed someone while being a gamer doesn't prove shit. Games don't make you mental, mental kids who play games will always be mental. No matter what they will get triggered to do bad things if they are mental like that, and it will never matter if they played games or not. Anyways who in the hell thinks characters are real? MENTALS, that's my point. mentals will always be mentle

    asking the real question here. why do esports need the any approval? it is already more successful than any other "sports" out there. esports has more fan base and more loyal and pro tourny winnings are so huge that it does not even compare the "real sports". i only benefit i see on getting approval here is athlete visa and getting spots on ESPN. cable TV is a dying industry so why bother with the latter. these debate about if eSports considered as real sport or not. my answer is does it matter.

    Type definition of sport. It pretty much will give you something like this: An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. This is sports. E-Sports is exactly the same thing without "physical exertion". Everything else is there.
    Personally I hate people who act like these people on the video. Usually I won't talk with them about the topic, because every time they just think they are right without understanding shit or they don't want to understand. It is like talking to a rock.

    The thing I'll never get is how people like my parents can come home from work, sit in front of the tv while browsing facebook and playing mobile games on their tablets, never saying a word to each other, but I'm "antisocial" for going online, forming friendships with people who share my interests and enjoying a hobby that *could* one day evolve into a career.

    Older generation / our parents doesn't understands Esport / Computer game because they have not experienced it. History shows that Humans are afraid of change . And this is a big big change. It's like rock and roll . Olders didn't support it first as they thought It'll corrupt young minds. They want what's good for us - at least what they think is good for us. It's okay . We just have to keep things in balance until we grow up - have a life of our own.
    One thing is certain, no matter what they does, our older generation cannot stop it . Esports and Gaming will continue to grow - it's the future. . When we have our own children , they will not face the same situation like us - 'cause we will understand..
    Meanwhile , You and I , we are the part of something great, something big, we are the part of a revolution. Be proud. Be strong. Keep Playing. Godspeed.

    This is, hands down, one of the best video on TH-cam

    This video speaks to some very real truths out there that a large majority of the public is unaware of.
    Great video

      Gamers will one day rule the world and then stars of so called "real" sports will fight in our arenas for our amusement :)

    Could you please give sources for those videos. Specifically the one where that woman said people think video characters are real.

    I've made real friends through gaming who i never met in real life until we ended up meeting in real life. also made friends who i just met instantly through both enjoying the same game. its like any other sport, a social thing

    I’m not being social when I’m playing video games. Right it’s not like I’m playing with my friends having conversations or anything right.
