I was moreso upset at the outdated pearl clutching of the olympic committee and the complete lack of engagement with actual esports, instead trying to… find mobile games tangentially related to existing olympic sports…?
They interpreted esports as the electronic version of sports (similar to email, e-cigarettes , E-commerce, etc) instead of the more common usage of playing video games as a competitive sport.
Honestly why isn’t this a thing? There’s a mod for L4D2 that changes all the blood splatters into multi-colored paint. It should only take changing like one hex shouldn’t it?

It sure feels like they took an intensive three week course.
