Steaming and YouTube are to of the worst things to happen in gaming along with Esports. I mean how sad to sit there and watch people play a game. No ill intent to anyone who die but just don't get it it.
its not that its sad to watch people play a game brother. Thats what half the world does. Its that they are literally watwching them "smurf" for a living. What in real life we call sandbagging. They are being taught how to manipulate ratings and undermine the matchmaker to undermine competitive matchups. And they call it casual fun or an education lol. when its CHEATING!!! The game companies don't even ban them and some platforms literally sanction it. Esports are great man, its just an extension of us in the physical and no different than athletic sports. But Society has not evolved to understand this yet. Its more respected in Asia, where the majority respects video games like the americas and europe respect football. 20 years ago, we were the same, we had a million playing counterstrike in NA alone, because you could search for servers that were at your own level. we had lan parties etc. With admins that would ban people who were "too good", didn't need any proof they were cheating. We treated it like playing sports at your local park in real life.
But now are children are taught by the internet that pwning noobs is competitive. Or its ok to cheat on someone because he is too low rated anyways. That if you just wanna play with your friends, its ok to stack teams. They equate competitive with money, skill level, or organization. And they feel its immoral for anyone to ban them, or they will attack your servers, they will do everything they can to destroy them. its literally fashionable for these kids to make multiple identities and they don't see it as cheating.
And calling them a protected class that is entitled to play, is what the martyr of the 21st century called suicidal empathy.
