Winning Big Bucks At Virtual Golf
from the it's-all-virtual dept
We're getting closer and closer to the point where video games are considered sports. I wonder how long it will be until ESPN starts reporting the results of video game competitions on SportsCenter. Here's an article about a guy who won $15,000 in a virtual golf tournament. He says he's won about $65,000 this year so far. While it's easier to compare sports video games to sports, I imagine that other video game competitions will start to increase in stature before too long.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
