I will not recognize this as legitimate until they add Centipede and Mario Brothers.

Centipede is the GOAT, but boy all those old arcade games give me carpal tunnel.

I made a concerted effort to ignore this whole topic because quite frankly it sounds really dumb to me.  However, I'm sitting here drinking a cup of coffee on a vacation day so I thought, what the heck...

So, using the term sports while sitting in front of a TV seems, again dumb, I have to admit I assumed they would at least be playing fake SPORTS games not shoot em up games.  I'm going to go back to completely ignoring this concept.

And I'm not a baby boomer so you can't OK Boomer me.

I misread the thread title thinking the "p" was a "c", and thought we were turning into Louisville for a second.

I think you're right. Whenever I spend any time in a room with gamers, I hear them say, "Goddam it!!" several times. Also, "Jesus Christ!"

A very religious bunch.

World's already beats out the world series in viewership. Minus 2016

Actually this is false.  Was exposed a few months ago based on how streams were counted vs traditional viewership of the other sports.  Apples to peanuts.

Mark Cuban is calling it a horrible business.  The statistics are such a joke and there are people out there using the term fraudulent. 

It isn't without value, but way way way overstated at the moment.
