So you’re saying esports will take off when things are how they used to be? Why didn’t they take off then? Why not now? We still have the things we used to, plus whatever we have now that’s allowed for their limited success.

I’m not trying to be cheeky. It’s just a very curious argument.




>Why didn’t they take off then

They did. We already went through this bubble / bust cycle once about 10 years ago, albeit on a much smaller scale. Look up the Championship Gaming Series.


I think the reason they’ve already taken off is because the LAN party was replaced with the far more accessible online multiplayer.
