they totally ripped off esreality, sue sue sue

these arguments are so trite, old and annoying. anything taken to an extreme is destructive...

Decent read :)

The article/story is suppose to be ambiguous it isn't exactly bashing on games and pro gaming but more like asking questions is this a good or bad thing.

and makes arguments about how e-sports is destructive

More like arguments about the difference on being simply a gaming/gamer addict and how its destructive and being a pro player and how its similar to being an athlete.

Anyone who dies from gaming is clearly fucked up anyway...if not from gaming they would be overdosing on heroin or drinking themselves to death, or cutting their wrists emo style

stermy life of the proffesional gamer

dif story there its fps or look at navi they go partys

Sensational reporting as always by our friends at CNN

You're probably trolling but... they're alright I guess, a little too americy for my taste though :)

Naw U.S. press for the most part sucks and really is all about sensational reporting lol

This is aimed squarely at mothers going "omg my child is playing xbox for 1 hour a day thats too much!!1"

Sensational reporting yeah I agree and probably is mainly what puts me off to most news. But I guess there's varying reasons for that like russia?? having nude news haha

In regards to the article I got something from the article/pov/story so I liked it. I guess in retrospect that article does lean towards the negative aspects but I guess im just more lenient towards criticism/negativity as long as I see other side of the argument. shrugs :)

if this leads to less consoles sells, then it suits for me!

Soccer players die all the time by sudden death during matches, yet I don't see sensationalist articles like this about it.

I've seen reports like that but they're generally for American Football
