I feel this article is definitely right to a certain extent. In games like CoD, with the lack of downgrade for losses, it causes some people to do things that normally wouldn't do and have not a care in the world about winning or losing. This in turn just pushes people away that wish to actually play the game normally as it ruins the fun for them and I feel if those games continue like that, yes they may get more players day in and day out, but the quality of players becomes ABSOLUTELY diminished. Hopefully as games progress, we'll see an increase in reward for winning and a harsh punishment to such mindsets.
@R10nu @KingMoorman I understand that. I was talking ALL console games, not just Halo. But besides that, I'm only basically saying that I'm taking these results with a grain of salt unless they really took the work to find every dollar pros made at any tourney. Just would've liked to see most tourneys included and not just "major" ones.
The site completely disregards most smaller tourneys, which most console players earn their money. I bet I know of some pros on the consoles who would at least reach top 10 if most console tourney earnings were accounted for
