"Over the last two years I have watched a lot of eSports. Mostly the games you would expect – League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and World of Tanks. What I have discovered is that there is a barrier – people just don’t find them entertaining enough. OK, if you are already a fan of the game, you will love it either way. However, as with all forms of entertainment, you need to be able to grab new viewers or eventually those you have at the beginning will eventually get bored and move on. This is most easily shown on reality TV shows such as Big Brother, and Jersey Shore – same formula year in year out but nothing that brings a new audience, so eventually the show dies a slow, painful death."

Starting in Patch 26.5, gameplay bans will be given for players who are “severely disruptive” in comms, rather than just chat bans.

Never got why people watch others play video games when they can play themselves...
I wonder why the author thinks Big Brother has died a slow death.. It's only been on 15 years and counting in the USA and going on its 4th season in Canada not to mention the tens of other countries that the game show appears on.
