It's cool to see gaming grow to such an extent and I wish everyone who participates the best of luck, but I don't think this should exist.

Olympic games in general are a burden on the local economy, this will be no different.

On a side note; it would be interesting to see what categories could be created. Will it have speedruns and challenge runs such as a no-hit dark souls run, or blindfolded runs?

We're talking very different scale, more like a world championships in shooting or some sport like that.

I think such event should include some classic games of extreme simplicity, starting with straight up Pong.
