Yet sports players get payed millions each year for people to watch them play a game...your hypocrisy is showing
English
-
See sports athletes and twitch streamers are two completely different types of people as well as jobs, there's no comparison.
-
Really? Because I'm pretty sure that both fit the arrogant twat who makes way too much money bill. And they both perform the same type of work, entertainment. So pray tell how is there no comparison?
-
Streamers don't make a lot of money. The reason being that their viewership is not very high.
-
Prof athletes are truly the best in the world at what they do, and the work and dedication it takes to get there is a life commitment, especially when retirement age is very, very young compared to other professions. Streaming a video game is about as far from that as you can get.
-
Well if you think they're overpaid to do what they do, well then you have no idea what they do. Being physical at that level is generally unheard of. Not to mention the skills required in what they do, the plays they make, and the influence they have. There's a variety of major factors to being professional. Not to mention they actually play against other people at [u]their[/u] skill level. What do streamers do? Play at a bland level, bitch about losing, play against people of lesser skill level, and then ask for donations. Yeah two different worlds.
-
This^^^ Being an athlete most of my life... I agree.
-
You think being athletic deserves to be paid millions of dollars a year? Lol. There are Olympic athletes who train their entire lives to be the best at something that don't get paid anywhere near as much as the lowliest of NBA players. The only thing either of them do is play a game for other people's enjoyment. Without the spectators neither job would be shit. The fact that you can't see why the comparison works is worrying at best. But since sports stars don't work for you how about one of these jobs? Actor, news anchor, comedian, stripper, cam girl, porn star, youtube content creator. The list can go on. Stop trying to act like these people are any different.

Lol nerd cant see the difference
-
Don't waste you time, he doesn't want to see the difference because he's biased.
-
Lol arrogant prick can't see it's exactly the same thing.
-
Basement dweller thinks theyre the same :). Esports amirite
-
Who the hell cares about esports or not. Either way people are getting payed to play a GAME. Not my fault your stupid ass is to dumb to see that. And basement dweller? Lol. Have you even moved out of your parents house there bud?
-
You're ;)
-
Yes, that's what I figured. You have no way to defend your point so the only thing you manage to do is correct a typo lol. You're -blam!-ing sad. Enjoy being an arrogant twat the rest of your life -blam!- boy.
-
That wasn't a typo... don't lie.
-
The classic youre your is how you can tell that youre talking to a child. Sorry you dont see a difference :)
-
Or it's how you tell the person you're talking to is typing in a touch screen. Your arrogance knows no bounds does it? Never spoken to a single one of you sport fanatic -blam!- boys who have been able to do anything other than resort to name calling and "nu uh it's not the same". You're pathetic and I'd rather talk to any esports fan over people like you any day. -blam!-ing toxic attitude of the sports fans is pure filth.
-
Um I dont watch sports too often tbh. I just see no bridge between athletics and video games if you can understand that. No need to get angry
-
It's not about a bridge between sports and video games. It's a bridge between the viewing of the two...
-
Train for a real sport. Train for a vidyuh game. Gamers dont deserve pay lol
-
Why don't they? They are clearly providing entertainment to people in some way shape or form. Do comedians not deserve pay either? All they do is tell jokes on a stage. They're doing there thing and to say they don't deserve to get paid for providing a form of entertainment is just ignorant.
-
If people start watching others play video games at the same level they do things like the NBA and NFL, then you'd be correct. They don't, though. The reason people don't watch others play video games at the same level, and never will, are the things people are pointing out to you.
-
Its not entertaining. Dumb little kids (frankly from experience) are the only ones who waste their time watching it. Sorry!!!
-
You missed the point completely.
