But his attempts to bring the two together weren't supported by ZeniMax, Carmack says, which ultimately led him to choose one over the other.

If it's so simple, please explain it.

And finally, what if you happen to be one of those crazy gamers who actually watches television too? A consumer who chooses to consume their 34 hours of weekly television via over-the-top services will end up watching around 136 hours a month. At 2.3 GB/hour for HD streaming, this viewer will consume around 313 GB of…

"Better make sure our bodies are Y2K compliant."

Yep.

"Queer theory"

"The AI is taking a page out of Forza's playbook. The Azure cloud will analyze how humans play and incorporate that into the not AI. Hence why they are public testing it 2 months early. To give the AI a chance to learn."

"Damn. You're so cool. I wish I was cool enough to go to bars. Oh well."

Hey man, there's nothing wrong with power metal. That's where you'll find some of the best guitar solos. Don't worry about the cheesy lyrics.

Not sure what your point is with that quote. It doesn't change anything I said, I read that whole page the first time.

Your link also gives "game involving physical exercise" as a definition, which I think is the one that most people go by. In that sense, no, eSports are not a sport - and that's how I see it.

Once again, apart from almost saying it at the end, these people are ignoring a major fault of their own in relation to this situation.

Yes, bullies often have trouble at home and that contributes to their cruelty or whatever. But this idea you seem to have, that the non-troubled kid who is bullied and fights back (in perhaps a more severe, mentally cruel way - instead of physically) is the "real bully" is a bit off to me.

In this episode, a guy gamer decides that he is NOT FUCKING HAPPY about not getting a reply from her. It starts off awkward but quickly gets super, super shitty. It's also basically a textbook example of Nice Guy Syndrome, to the point where he even says "Look, I was trying to be nice" before being... decidedly not…

Things like poker, billiards, and darts (and fucking eating) are only considered sports by the same sort of people who consider eSports a "sport". That there are other people trying to act as though something is a traditional sport, when it's not, doesn't somehow make it so.

If people who like eSports are going to call the players "athletes", like the guy in the video did, then they can be expected to be mocked for it not being a "real sport".

"In the time before they're able to monetize their videos, they'll be taking a loss on their upgraded account."

Yeah fair enough. I think the problem is everyone has a different idea of what a "real job" is. For me, it's anything where you have an employer and get a wage or salary. Doesn't mean there aren't better things which aren't "real jobs", it's just that I understand/agree what people are saying when they say these…

You're right, I haven't, because it's a US term and I'm not from the US. But what are you saying, that someone under at-will employment is going to be surprised that they've been dismissed suddenly? Are they going to argue to the internet that their employer should fix the situation and look after them, even though…

No, but whining to the internet through the same platform they're complaining about is something specific to these YouTubers. They've found themselves in a crappy situation as the result of an automated system, but they're acting like YouTube owes them a solution. YouTube probably will resolve this, but only because…
