Pushing Button: Is the Olympics getting video games all wrong?

The Olympics announced its second-ever esports series last week, which means that in 2023, video games will be part of the world's most revered sporting event. Players can sign up for qualifying rounds, some of which are already underway. The series will culminate in a live event in Singapore in June, part of the first Olympics esports week, where qualifiers will compete across nine virtual sports. This should be a huge moment that the gaming and esports worlds would both be celebrating. Instead, esports professionals have been despairing over the games that have been included.
