Not true. Especially for games that require skill. For me it's extremely interesting to watch League of Legends pro players. They invent new strategies and create trends like popular champions to play with. I would argue that LoL is (much) more interesting to watch than Football (be it American or "real" football), Basketball X-ball, Formula 1 or you name it competitive "real" sport.
- jiggy2011 14y agoThe previous post mentioned "Playthroughs" which to me suggests single player games recorded from start to finish. I see it being unlikely that they will disrupt traditional "TV" that focuses on stuff like narrative driven dramas or documentaries. I don't see many people wanting to watch a playthrough instead of Game of Thrones or whatever. Maybe a small niche will, but not the mainstream. In terms of multiplayer game tournaments then yes, perhaps these may be successful in the way that traditional sports broadcasts are.
