Well, when you start giving prizes that include a seat in a $25k tournament (which in turn can lead to a seat at an even more lucrative tournament) ... I don't know if we're not talking about more than simply "video games" at that point.
No, I'm not remotely defending what the guy did.
I'm simply wondering if the narrative about "over a VIDEO GAME ?!?!?" (not your words but a direct quote I've seen elsewhere) would be different if he'd done this at, say, a similar poker event or whathaveyou.
