The debate I intended to spark from that article I posted was less about definitions and more about whether or not ESPN should show coverage of it. I mean they do poker tournaments as well as eating competitions and those don't seem to make anyone bat an eye, but suddenly it's a video game and people on Twitter lose their shit. Granted it's Twitter and people on it will lose their shit over any perceived grievance, regardless of how trivial it is. I just thought it was kind of a cool leap forward for the medium and it's impact on popular culture as well as the types of games out there.
