Has anything damaged video games worse than esports?
twitch
Streaming
politics
Yeah, sorry but basically online forums have been shocking and laid the foundation for an online gaming media industry
Mike Ross and Gootecks
Multiculturalism
more specifically the political left
are esports even still a thing? i feel like no one plays the games they're even based on anymore. no one i know plays overwatch, no one plays any of it's competitors really, no one plays mobas anymore, people who used to enjoy league enjoy shitting on it more than playing it.
what the fuck does esports even do any more?
All of these + Discord
dlc

Do you really have to ask this?
Streamers and microtransactions
The lack of cunny.
reason modern Any Forums hates esports is because you're all phonegame normalfags who smoke weed 24/7 and consequently aren't good at anything
the Any Forums that won the shazbowl would piss all over neo-nu-Any Forums
>how is sharing them bad for them ?
Because nobody who streams is actually playing videos games to enjoy them. Video games are simply a means to an end for narcissistic external validation.
