I always thought that competitive gaming is amazing, but competitive gaming like this will never be sustainable. For one, it relies on endless influx of people willing to spend money, and regularly watch the content. Given how little new stuff Blizzard actually made, it’s impossible to remain interested.

For the latter half of that, it’s looked a lot like insider trading and money laundering, because it’s not a competition for who wins the game. It’s a competition for whose gaming brand stays in business
