Video games, on the other hand, are carefully crafted to amuse the people playing them, with no thought given at all to spectator value.
Understood. However, couldn't this bring about a change in games as we know them? Perhaps, a greater focus on the spectator value without sacrificing the amusement of the player is the future for games, or will be if professional gaming gets a foothold. However, this could all just crash and burn; a futile attempt to make gamers' dreams of fame and fortune come true ([enter sports star here] gets to play a game and make millions, why can't we?).
In my opinion, I think it could be quite interesting to watch if they are playing a game one enjoys and loves. I think it is also quite possible that sports games could get a following of non-gamers providing live-action sports enthusiasts a "fix" in the offseason.
Either way, I look forward to watching this play out.
