Thanks for UKTerrorist for breaking news that CS has been featured in a BBC article entitled 'Computer gamers gather global audience'. They've got quotes from Doug Lombardi of Valve and appz, UKTerrorist's founder. The article gabbles into making CS, and other games, a spectator sport:
Even multi-player games, that let you take on, and impress other players, offer only a small audience for your hard-won expertise. But all that could be about to changeCheck it out!
Computer game makers are releasing software that can bring a multi-player game to thousands of spectators. Soon you could be heading down the pub on a Saturday to watch a match between teams playing computer games rather than ball games.
Already TV stations are signing up to use the software and some of the professional gaming leagues are using it to beam the action to crowds at regional competitions.
