Really, it's a lot more egalitarian, since most physically disabled people aren't at a disadvantage and the whole male/female divide isn't necessary. Personally, I don't think it really even makes sense to call entertainment 'worthy'/'less worthy' since it's all a matter of tastes, but ignoring that, I'd say they're equally worthy.

I definitely watch sports, but that doesn't discredit game players, there is something satisfying about watching someone who is Good/great at their own activity,
whether it's a Scorpion kick in soccer, a billiard player running the table at 8-ball or a professional player going through a game in 1 try.

all i know is in fifa games fouls get called out all the time by unbiased referees or at least the ai knows when it's actually a goal, foul, offside whatever. real refs miss stuff on occasion.

@Pikachu i don't think our ai tech is up to par to handle irl situations. until then i'll prefer to watch 2 people play the console game.

As a mom, who's watched countless hours of video games, I'd say no.
It's not my "sport" of choice.

lol well sure. But that's down to personal preference of the game you're watching.
Sort of the same thing if you love watching hockey but hate watching curling.

I say no for two reasons.
Firstly, sports are a good thing for athletic fitness and health. Computer games are not.
Secondly, I just think real sports are better to watch.
If you like watching games im not gonna judge but its not fir me.

I think our conceptions of games are changing. The diffetemce between games and movies gets ever narrower.

@Pikachu Yes. The Mass Effect series as example.
