Do you think, in the future, video games could become as popular as football, baseball, or even soccer?Possibly, if celebrity's promoted it or there was a gaming channel on sky or something. ?.

Are video games a spectator sport?
In some ways yes. The amount of gamers on YouTube who have over 100k subs is amazing o.o
