On: The World Excel Championship is being broadcast on...

I guess that's going to be a sign that Excel is dead

It's only dead when Microsoft thinks they can make more money on Excel being an e-sport, and start changing it in a way that helps with e-sports but annoys normal users.

This is a common killer of video games.

Can you name a single video game that this has ever happened to? There isn't even a hint of truth to what you said

Excel is fine. E-Sports, however, just jumped a shark.

I'd like any readers of this thread to know that there was once a million dollar Farming Simulator tournament. The competition was haybale stacking. I always found that hilarious

If anyone wonders what that would look like… well here you go!

Were those bales of hay shaped like "L" or "T" or "Z" and did the music for it sound kind of Russian?

To some, certainly.

But to me it looks like a real skill and tough challenges. Super micro niche, for sure.
