I’m a very avid video gamer. More of a classic gamer and collector, and I will say this kind of thing embarrasses me. I’ve never been ashamed of my hobby, but this kind of thing is pathetic to me, I don’t know what else to say about it.

I find no real world value in it. To me it’s a fun escape and a hobby, but I find it really harmful in a psychological sense for this to be perceived as a legitimate ‘trade’.

I heard a guy talking about these gaming events and he predicted the big ones will eventually surpass our Super Bowl in viewership and revenues.

I tried watching one competition where one team competed against another but I couldn't figure out what was going on other then they were running around trying to shoot each other with different stuff.

Another championship I watched briefly was a computer soccer game with a prize of tens of thousands of dollars. I didn't see what the attraction of that was either.

My 8 and 10-year old sons play Fortnite. I think they'll grow out of it and then I meet 30-something men who are playing Fortnite and love it just as much as my kids do.
