I think it should. Any sportsman who is good enough can go professional. This is no different with gaming. Any sport requires skill. So does gaming. Sports are usually very enjoyable. So are games. Do you see the point I’m getting at? There is usually some kind of championship in each sport. There definitely is in gaming. A game is no different than any other sport. People will say “But games require a controller and a screen. No other sport needs that.” Can you think of any other sport than car racing that requires a car? Does any other sport than football need goalposts? People will say “But you need to be active for it to be a sport.” NASCAR drivers don’t do much. They sweat a lot, and they feel exhausted after the race, but that’s because the stakes are very high. Anyone would do that. Gamers do the same thing. In some world championship, a gamer will fell just like a NASCAR driver does.
In conclusion, there is little difference between video games and any other sport. They’re all sports.
No difference.
