I'm unsure if it's a shame or it's a plus side but having so many games being considered a "pro" game to play because it's in tournaments is surely killing the whole idea of gaming going mainstream. We have so many different tournaments going off that feature a random stretch of games and tossing and changing what should be played and shouldn't.

I think it needs to go back to the old days when it was literally 2 or 3 main stream games that actually were featured in tournaments otherwise basically the mainstream idea of gaming is (to put it bluntly) - blowing it's load to fast.

We have players coming and going and the spectators (like myself) are getting bombarded and confused on what to watch. Yes gaming is gaming overall in any game they play. But it's basically like running a tournament and tossing and changing between football, rugby, badminton or snooker to be the "pro" sport.

Of course we always will have the standard CS and WOW being a pro game to play but I'm aiming more towards the 1v1 FPS games. Switching between UT, Quake, Fear, Cyrsis or god knows what ever kind of game they will think of next to be taken on board and only played to take the punters money.

Watching the CGS on tv proved to be a joke itself.

Maybe true gaming died the second they started this idea, but until we find a company that is seriously in the zone to help the gamers progress and not just make money (which of course they must) it's going to die real soon.
