    I didn’t know it existed so I had to read up on it real quick. Honestly makes my blood boil a little bit, especially stuff like blanket excluding FPS games because they’re “too violent”. Are we still in the nineties?

      Every developer would be happy to put in a paintball mode if it got them Olympic level press coverage.

        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?

        I was moreso upset at the outdated pearl clutching of the olympic committee and the complete lack of engagement with actual esports, instead trying to… find mobile games tangentially related to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…?

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

          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.
