This summers upcoming X-Games are going to include a COD tournament. I believe that it does not match the X-Games model or that it fits in. Lets here your thoughts on this issue also what do you think of video games as a sport.




plus k for clicky

theabortionatorMaybe the Xgames always was what it is. Maybe it was just the size of the sports and everyone coming together that made it awesome.

Any contest that will just drop any sport at any time if the ratings aren't up is fucking lame IMO. Then if people want it they might pick it back up for a couple years then do it all again.

Xgames = the zumiez of action sports contests.


true that. I don't care if those dudes make more than most pro skiers. it's some of the lamest shit ever. but in today's day and age, you can get rich from literally anything. So more power to them I guess

this is dumb, but from a financial standpoint it makes sense. League of Legends maker Riot games sold out staples center for some tournament. If you ever watch the crowd at x-games its almost empty. Too much cash for ESPN to miss out on.

Do people want to watch other people play video games? Seems pretty fucking stupid to me.

I have nothing against having CoD in the XGames, but I don't really understand it. Not only is it not an extreme sport, but it is boring as shit to watch. Even back in the day when I used to play 20 hours of CoD a week, there was no way I'd be able to sit through 30 minutes of a CoD tournament.

"Video games are meant to be fun, not a career. "

You can say that about any hobby.


Skiing is supposed to be fun, not a career

Playing music is supposed to be fun not a career

Having sex is supposed to be fun not a career

For the most part if you're good at something you can make a career out of it. I would much rather play video games for a living than work a normal 9-5
