How do they exist?? 10 million dollar prize pool for pubg mobile?? You just move your thumbs and the aim assist locks on their head! Why would people watch such a low skilled game with no actual strats??
Depends on the perspective that it's appraoched from -
Video games are a form of media. Movies with lower and higher budgets are still (or at least should b) judged with the same criteria and rigor, and the same applies to video games.
However, if it's from a condescending perspective, that puts down not only the game for no reason other than being of a lower budget in conjunction with criticizing those who like the game it's definitely leaning toward economic discrimination or classism.
Bro, you fucking come to India and South Asia and buy the millions of people who play PUBG Mobile a good PC, everyone in the western world thinks mobile games are cringe, they don't think that people here in India cannot afford a vehicle and stuff like plane tickets or even a meal at a restaurant which, to people who are well off, doesn't seem like a big deal. It is not that simple to just buy a PC, a good PC that can run games is a luxury that most of our parents gave us and we did not even earn by ourselves, so we shouldn't judge/ridicule someone who cannot afford them because in the end, for a middle-class family in India, necessities are more important than a PC.
And just so you fuckers who make fun of mobile games know the difference, the average salary of an Indian household is 20000 rupees per month, a good PC with peripherals here costs 150000 rupees at least, which is more than the annual income of an average household. So the discrepancy is very very high.
And even if you can somehow afford a good PC, it is unlikely that your whole friend group can, so many people just play on a phone to just play with their friends.
Dude you gotta understand that everyone else in the world is not as priviledge as the west. People in developing countries would rather buy a Phone than a computer because it's much more handy and useful. Anyways Accessibility = More interest in Mobile games
Edit:
P.S. only privileged people dont understand why mobile esports are popular
this is why west always looking down mobile scene. u can see how profit mobile game than pc. imagine pubg mobile ($700 million) and pubg m china ver. ($2.6 billion) (2021) compare then league of legend ($1.75 billion)(2020). thats why many companies tried build mobile game and make huge scene for competitive.
