I love video games. The problem I have with recognizing video gaming as a sport is mainly that the rules and playing fields change too often, and with no regulatory bodies to provide checks and balances to these changes. The developer of the game being played can change and patch whatever they want, whenever they want, with no oversight.
Not to mention, the sport being played is essentially whatever the "cool" game is at the time, which changes year after year. It would be difficult to maintain interest in a game for even 2 Olympic cycles, let alone hundreds. Can Starcraft 1 still generate massive world-wide interest in 2013? How will LoL be doing in 2023?
Meanwhile traditional gaming and sports haven't changed a whole lot over the hundreds or even thousands of years we have played them, they have stood the test of time and are still capable of generating massive world-wide interest. Video games cannot claim to have done this.
With that said Im not against awarding visas to pro gamers.
So Shaq, Matt Damon and Steven Seagal participated in SWAT raids. Is this for celebrities only or anyone can sign up?
Not that I would like to participate though.
>I made the mistake of doing some prior research to find the best price...
Doing research to find the best price is never mistake. It sucks that your surprise is ruined. I dont know if advertisers can know if action is taken on other website.
I guess you should delete cookies to "reset intent" or do research in private tab.
That is not necessarily true. They can easily calculate average worth of FB user (money that user brings them by clicking on ads) on yearly basis and set yearly membership fee above that number.
Example: If average yearly worth of user is $5, they can charge $10 fee. Most of people that would sign up for premium would be users that dont click on ads anyway (their average worth is lower) so FB could earn more.
I guess people also are making purchases and signing up by mistake after clicking on ads. Just because you ignore ads, doesn't mean others do same. FB is already making profit on ads.
