Some games evolved to e-Sports. Once you win in those games (money!). Trust me it's addictive. Our team won in 2 years of RTCW in total of 175,610 USD so yeah you stick around because of that.

Games are slowly evolving to a real sport in some counteries. Korea has it how-ever already accepted as a main public sport. Soccer/FootBall is for them still no 1. But Gaming is on 2nd place.

Anyhow Trafton. I suggest you not to talk about it if you haven't been close to it at all.
