Dead to me. Can’t support that region at all.
Couldn’t support the corrupt assholes at olympic committee either, even before this.
Fuck em.
The Olympics have an E-sports division???
Yeah, but considering the games are mostly garbage mobile apps that had no players or came out just in time to be selected for the Olympic line-up (*cough* obvious IOC corruption *cough*), they might as well not have one. They added Fortnite but couldn’t even do that right because they removed the pvp battle royal stuff from it and replaced it with target shooting, lol.

I didn’t know it existed so I had to read up on it real quick. Honestly makes my blood boil a little bit, especially stuff like blanket excluding FPS games because they’re “too violent”. Are we still in the nineties?
Every developer would be happy to put in a paintball mode if it got them Olympic level press coverage.
Honestly why isn’t this a thing? There’s a mod for L4D2 that changes all the blood splatters into multi-colored paint. It should only take changing like one hex shouldn’t it?
I was moreso upset at the outdated pearl clutching of the olympic committee and the complete lack of engagement with actual esports, instead trying to… find mobile games tangentially related to existing olympic sports…?
It sure feels like they took an intensive three week course.
They interpreted esports as the electronic version of sports (similar to email, e-cigarettes , E-commerce, etc) instead of the more common usage of playing video games as a competitive sport.
