How does the development of cybersports affect the perception of gaming as a culture? For example, in the past, games were often seen as entertainment only, but now they are becoming part of professional sports with big prize money, stadiums filled with fans, and even broadcasts on major platforms. Cybersports has already attracted a wide audience, but do you see something more behind it?

I believe that the development of cybersports is already changing the perception of gaming as a culture. Gaming has become not just entertainment, but an entire ecosystem, including professional leagues, sponsors, analysts, and even fan clubs. For example, big events like The International for Dota 2 or League of Legends championships prove that games can unite millions of people. However, what I'm particularly impressed with is how cybersports is influencing the development of social spaces. The article https://unwinnable.com/2024/12/16/cloud-gaming-cafes-new-social-gaming-spaces-2/ discusses how gaming cafes and other collaborative gaming spaces are creating new opportunities for socializing. People go there not only to play, but also to cheer on their favorite teams, share strategies, and discuss matches.

For example, around popular games, communities are formed that create content: memes, fan art, videos. This is already part of the cultural landscape. But I doubt that cybersport will be able to completely change the perception of games as art. Rather, it will remain a sporting component, and issues of artistic value will develop in parallel. In any case, cybersport makes games more visible and promotes their popularization, which in itself is already a big step forward.
