Revenues of the video game industry by Wikipedia.
A lot of video games are focussing on micropayments which gave huge profit for buying
virtual items. The most impressive thing for me is that this items not exist in real life but
still people want to spend even thousand dollars on something unreal.

We can also see how people from Sport want be a part of this business and i will give you
few examples of that. Former board members of Legia Warszawa created their own esport
team - AGO Gaming. The next example is Faze Clan which started cooperation with
futbol team Manchester City. In one of the game we could see logo Faze Clan on their hoods.

Professional esport is evolving from one year to another. Teams employ not only just a
players. You can find a lot of organisations which have their psychologist, coach and
bench warmers. In last days i also saw some players which decided to get a temporary
break from professional gaming because of their low motivation and occupational burnout.

Some time ago i heard some ideas that esport pretend to be a part of olympiad. Maybe this
topic is familiar to you but i am sure it arouses great emotions. Some people agree that it
should be part of this event and in my opinion it is even inevitable. For me is just a question
when it will happen. What is your point of view on that ?

Comments
for you ?
I didn't know about this cooperation, but I am not shocked by it. People are eveywhere where money is.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
Not sure it is still very young scene, but it definitely will be comparable to the traditional sports.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
Yes, why not. It is a competitive sport like others so nowadays I don't see reason why it should not be a part of olympics.
Yes, I’ve heard about it. During the epidemic, many athletes competed playing online. The coronavirus made me realize that this is possible, although I wouldn't believe it before.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I think this is very likely, people are becoming more lazy, young people love games, so everything fits perfectly. Such games would be possible even during a pandemic, which is a great advantage of this idea.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I think that it’s possible in the future, certainly not now but sometime. The costs of such an event would certainly be lower, it wouldn’t depend on the weather and diseases at all, this is our future in 100%.
2. I don’t think so. E-sport is still not as popular as other sports, like soccer. I’d even say that majority of people don’t even know about the existence of e-sport. Maybe in the future that would change, but I think that e-sport will never be as attractive as for example soccer. Even for me, someone who likes to play computer games, watching someone else playing is extremely boring and to be honest I don’t understand why people watch it.
3. I was going to say that I don’t see any contraindications, because I was thinking that chess is an Olympic game, but it turns out that it isn’t. Taking that into account, there are no Olympic games which don’t involve any kind of movement of human body. E-sport is a mental effort, so it doesn’t fit the Olympic games.
I didn't know that. This kind of entertainment is becoming popular and there are organizations that bring together players. The most important reason for the uprising is that Organized institutions make more money. In Poland, there is even an Electronic Sports Association.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
E sport is the opposite of sport understood as a type of activity that affects the development of physical strength, increasing the efficiency of the body, etc.
And esport is simply "clicking on the computer", not any sport. This does not change the fact that professional athletes are masters in this computer click, and it is really rare that someone is able to get close to this level of mastery. And since someone wants to look at it and someone wants to pay for it, there is no point in trying to depreciate it, it's his business.
Despite this, it's ridiculous for me to try to convince myself that clicking on the mouse and looking at the screen can be equivalent to physical activity.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I agree with you. It should be remembered that one of the competitions
Well, I'm a supporter of all sports, but here the members of G2 Esports are people who play football in their spare time, a lot of them even manage to play professional football. It's not surprising.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries? Will it be a bigger than normal sport?
Hobbies are important, but not more important than the skills and knowledge of it. I think people are too busy playing games and talking about games. Games are art but aren't real life. I think if we learn about real-life first, they will be more valuable to us. If we play games, we are truly living and learning about it.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esports to be a part of olympiad?
I mean, for me it does not matter, whether I watch it as olympiad or as a world championship or local one. I think that world championships are enough for me and I don't need an olympiad. Olympiad is more of a physical competition rather than a big brain combined with mechanics.
2. Haha, you must be kidding. The video game industry is much smaller than ordinary sport. What is happening now in the world is very sad for me. Clicking on the keyboard becomes a sport - it's sick. In no way is this a real sport. I also sometimes play online games where I compete with players from all over the world, but I don't feel any competitive spirit. In my opinion, playing video games should not be considered a sport. Real sport is about body development, mind development - about improving health. Real sport is not only competition, it also promotes a healthy lifestyle. Does esports do such a thing?
3. Under no circumstances should eSports be part of the Olympics. Playing games does not meet Olympic assumptions and ideas in any way. As I said before, there is no real competitive spirit in esports, and playing video games does not improve health. It seems to me that this whole esport is artificially promoted.
2. I think it might be bigger some day as right now a lot of people prefer to play video games than for example socker. We see how it has grown in just 3 years and I think it won't stop that quickly.
3. I have no idea. I would say that it is too random right now and games are not balanced that well to be treated as olympia sport. For example in league of legends you have some champions that are far more powerful than others and if someone would play only that one champion that he is great on but it was nerfed he would basicly be crushed in olympia game and he would have to learn new champion and basicly make his team less powerful. I think it will take a while before esport will have it's place in olympia.
2) I think video games will become more popular than normal sport. Especially now lots of people started playing online games due to isolation. Also, it is easier for people to use only their hands and palms to play then need to go to the pitch, find a team, and care about the weather.
3) I don't think e-sport should be an Olympic discipline. The fact that it has "sport" in its name does not imply that it should be added there. There is still a need to keep these two separated.
I didn't know such cooperation occured, but it's not shocking for me. Esport became a huge branch of sport with a very high number of fans.
2.
I guess that video games appeal mostly to younger people, who are still in the minority of earth population, so right not that expalins the numbers (lower interest in video games compared to traditional sport), but I thikn that in the next 10 or 15 years we will see a major shift to esport or sports done in virtual reality.
3.
Playing in a professional esport league requires many hours of hard work and
a lot of skill, those people should be noticed in what they do, so I think htat some games, like for example Counter-Strike should be on the Olympics.
I didn't. It surprised me a bit but after giving it a thought it makes sense.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
No, it won't. Normal sport is not just a game. It's a history behind clubs and players. It's their emotions.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I'm not a fan of that idea. Mainly because for me a sport is something physical - a player should train physically hard to be invited for such competitions.
2 / I think that this topic has many opinions ... But I consider e-sports as a type of sports industry, and this provides an opportunity to open new borders and opportunities. As for ordinary people and for example with physical disabilities who cannot fully feel the sports spirit and competition, but want to become part of this industry.
3 / I think it needs to be given a green light!
for you ?
No, I didn't. I used to pay close attention to the E-sports, but not anymore.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
It will, for sure. Normal sport has too high requirements, e-sports are far more accessible. And require a lot less investment.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
Too early at this point. Decades will have to pass in order for a standartization and manifestation of a complete sport discipline to occur.
1. Nope, I didn't know about this cooperations between soccer teams and esport organisations? This is a little shocking for me.
2. I think that in a few years, e-sport will also be very popular as traditional sport is today.
3. I think it is a great idea to make e-sports part of the Olympics, but it must be well organized and thought out. I would love to see such an Olympics out of curiosity about what the events are and how looks like.
2. For some people it will be easier/more fun to try e-sport than regular one. For sure it will be a huge part of games industry.
3. Too early for this, for sure. maybe some day in the future.
2. Considering size of community I think it already bigger. Maybe in Tv It is not observable, but long time ago the main content chanel become web. There the e-sport winning is indisputable.
3. I think a olympiad is already the relic of the past. In all of a discipline there is a main event, where champions are chosen. Consolidation of them in one event could be reasonable in times without mass communications.
2. I think that in about 20 years it may be a larger industry than a normal sport. Already today the best computer players can earn millions, which is comparable to the best athletes. If this industry develops maintaining the current speed, it is possible to happen.
3. Personally, I think that eSports should be treated as a normal sport. I do not see any contraindications for this.
Yes, I have known about it. It is not shocking for me, because I am following the topic how game industries are growing. Really fast and the trend is still the same it will be. More and more people are playing games and the competition between professionals are really impressive, so people want to invest their money in it.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I hope not, I am a big fan of normal sports, Olympic games, football and volleyball. I do not consider it as a sport to be honest, but I know that they have to be prepared and train exactly as athletes.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
No, I don’t agree with it.
for you ?
No, it’s not shocking me. I am aware that many relay sports associations work with video game companies. I also saw several times material on the Internet about the participation of real players in the process of creating a game, to help create visual effects and to create more accurate physical movements in the game.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
The video game industry is developing very quickly and now we can see it by the number of people who are passionate about video games not only at the amateur level, but also at the professional level. People have long begun to earn good money on this. I especially think the number of video game players increased during the pandemic. Most likely, in a couple of decades, the number of e-sportsmen and real athletes will be approximately the same.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I would not be an ardent opponent of this. But to be honest, I think that for such sports where competitions are held on a virtual level, you need to create separate events and not interfere all in one heap. So it would be convenient for the development of both directions.
for you ?
I've been aware that something like this might be possible but never heard about any examples. To be honest I am not shocked that it happened. That was just matter of time.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I am happy that gaming is a big deal this days, although Video Games industry is rapidly growing I think it will never be as big as normal sport industry. At least not in our life time.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I don't think that's a good idea. Esports got there own events and I think it should stay that way. Masses are not ready for it yet. People don't think about esport in real sport categories.
for you ?
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
1. I have heard about this, not the details as here in the material, but I was aware of it, so it is not at all shocking to me. Even if I didn't know it, I probably wouldn't be surprised - after all, such connections are quite logical,
2. Probably yes, it is growing every year, so I think that this kind of sport will grow fast. Mainly because teenagers are often bored with today's sports competitions and such e-sport is an interesting alternative.
3. I don't have a special opinion on that. If people like it and that's what they want, I don't think it's a bad thing - tradition almost always stands in the way of modernization, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, in the end it always passes anyway.
Well it is great I think, I mean eSport is quickly growthing so it is great business opportunity for classic teams to have its impact on eSport leagues.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport?
It could be but it needs more time to be developed to that stage as classic sport industry is.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
Well it would be fair to allow this kind of sport to olympaid like any other sport
for you ?
It wasn't a big surprise for me because I have known it for some time. I think it is very professional and it goes in the right direction.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
Not yet but in a while it will be a big show
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I think we should give a chance, because sport is not only sweat and physical effort but also a mental fight
I am aware of this cooperation, but I wasn't aware of its scale.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
On one hand e-sport and traditional sport is similar, but on the other traditional sport is more popular throughout people various ages. Maybe one day e-sport industry will be bigger than normal sport.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
Olympics is kind of traditional event. Olympics are based on ancient Greek competition, even soccer is not on Olympics. I don't think e-sport will be on Olympics, maybe some e-sport tournament will be bigger event than Olympics.
No, I didn't know cause I'm not very interested in such news but it isn't shocking for me. Money is money and if there is a market, why someone should ignore it.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries? Will it be bigger than a normal sport?
History will tell us, but it's probable especially when we will get better level of virtual reality games. Something like in Player One will be very popular, I think.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of the olympiad?
I don't know exact rules and traditions of becoming a part of the olympiad, but if there is curling, there can be literally anything.
2. I think that the video game industry is changing really fast, and like every industry ever, it is really focused on making money. I think it might become bigger than normal sport in the far future.
3. I think it's an interesting idea, and i would like to see it, but i don't think that the world is ready for something like this.
In nowadays there is plenty of similarities. Winning games require a lot more than few years ago for example you have to train on team play, tactics, your own performance and so on. A lot of players also decided to step up with their healthy lifestyle to feel better and also be more confident in game.
2. Wow. Tough to say. I have never been at any sports game, however, my parents have seen multiple football and volleyball games live at the stadium. They always talk about the amazing atmosphere, the noise, the dancing and singing. I don't think that could be ousted by computer games. I know that there are events where people spectate and cheer for the players live but it is not the same. However, looking at the rising popularity of VR, maybe it would come to this that people will live through those experiences even more intense than in a stadium.
3. I'd like the idea. I'm not really a sports spectator. I like sports in general, but watching them was always boring for me so I can't genuinely support or deny this idea.
for you ?
Yes, I have heard about such cooperation – maybe not in football but in Formula 1. Each team has its two players who have been nominated after taking part in many rounds of fierce racing online. The best ones were invited to join the team and represent them in the world finals.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I am not a big gamer myself so I don’t have a clear opinion about the industry. I look at it as a source of service that sometimes helps me with passing the time if I have nothing better to do. There are some games that I really like but it’s not that I have my favorite studio that I can’t wait for another game to be developed. When it comes to sport – I guess that right now e-sports is a very lucrative business but I wouldn’t really compare it to the real sport. It’s completely different pair of shoes and money cap.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ? Olympics attendees are athletes that prepare months or years before going, they are not gamers that sit in their playseats. Of course, the game physics are getting more and more advanced but still, it’s the game, not the player.
2. At present, video games and e-sport have developed significantly due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many people who love sport could not leave the house, so they had to find another way to play sport. I think that because of this whole situation, e-sport may be more popular than usual.
3. In my opinion, this would be a slight exaggeration. I understand that competition is also needed in e-sport but they should be a completely separate competition.
I have heard about it but I am interested in Counter Strike Global Offensive competitive scene. I think that business is business so if it is profitable why a football club wouldn't invest in esports section?
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
It might be, to be honest it is hard to tell. For example some DOTA tournaments have prize pool of some ridiculous amount. I think the big pro of esports that despite the fact of virus spreading tournamenets still take place while almost all sports events had to be stopped.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I think that esports should have some seperate olympiad cause it is for real life sports.
I have heard about some of these cooperations, another of them was a surprise. To be honest, I am more in DotA 2 and I know, that the DotA 2 professional team LGD has signed a unique contract with football team PSG. I also have heard about some Russian DotA 2 clubs cooperations with football clubs.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries? Will it be a bigger than normal sport?
I think it depends on what game we are talking about. If we will take into consideration all esport, than yes. Maybe in the future it will be even bigger than normal sport. We can already see, during this coronavirus pandemic, that some normal sports events were transferred into virtual and used it instead of normal, for example, racing.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of the olympiad?
Well, I think it is a great idea, but maybe a little bit ahead of time. I think the world is not ready yet. Maybe, in the future there will be some esport disciplines in the olympiad, but how to decide which of them?
for you ?
I knew about some of them, and they weren't quite shocking to me. There is a lot of potential money gains in esports, so it's natural all those companies are putting their resources in it.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I think with time it will be bigger for sure. From what I know, even people at my age are losing interest in all kinds of sports so younger generations are probably even further away from this topic.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I would be glad to see it, as I like watching esports tournaments, mainly because the level of play is much higher than in regional leagues. That's why international competition is always something that I can watch without getting bored.
for you ?
I haven't heard about that, but I'm not surprised it's a huge industry with a lot of money to be made.
2. What do you think about Video Games industries ? Will it be a bigger than normal sport ?
I think that it will be much much bigger than the normal sport. It's more approachable for regular people. You don't have to be super tall or athletic to be an e-sport gamer, and that's why everyone can dream to become an e-athlete one day.
3. What is your point of view in giving a chance for esport to be a part of olympiad ?
I don't really consider it a sport, so I'm not really for it. On the other hand money is money so I think that it will become part of olympiad pretty soon.
