Video games should be in Olympics, says Warcraft maker

Competitive video gaming - known as e-sports - should be included in the Olympic Games, the creator of World of Warcraft has told the BBC.

著名電子游戲《魔獸世界》的開發者近日在BBC的節目中表示,競賽類的電子游戲（即人們所熟知的電子競技體育）應歸入奧運會比賽項目.

Rob Pardo, who until July was chief creative officer at Blizzard Entertainment, said "sport" now had a broad definition.

今年七月剛卸任的著名游戲公司暴雪娛樂（Blizzard Entertainment）前創意總監羅布·帕爾多（Rob Pardo）認為,現在"體育"的概念比以往更寬泛.

"Videogames are well positioned to be a spectator sport," he told Afternoon Edition on BBC 5 Live.

帕爾多在英國廣播公司第五頻道的《下午要聞》（Afternoon Edition）節目中說道："電子游戲比賽正好可以歸為觀賞性強的競技運動類型."

Professional e-sports events currently attract audiences of millions.

專業電子競技比賽一般可吸引數百萬名觀眾.

A recent major final held in Seoul,South Korea, filled a stadium of 40,000 people - with many more watching either online or at meet-ups around the world.

近日在韓國首爾舉行的一場大型電玩決賽現場中,可容納4萬名觀眾的體育場座無虛席,還有更多的人在全球各地通過網絡或劇集在一起觀看了直播.
