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.

著名电子游戏《魔兽世界》的开发者近日在BBC的节目中表示,竞赛类的电子游戏（即人们所熟知的电子竞技体育）应归入奥运会比赛项目.

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

今年七月刚卸任的著名游戏公司暴雪娱乐（Blizzard Entertainment）前创意总监罗布·帕尔多（Rob Pardo）认为,现在"体育"的概念比以往更宽泛.

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

帕尔多在英国广播公司第五频道的《下午要闻》（Afternoon Edition）节目中说道："电子游戏比赛正好可以归为观赏性强的竞技运动类型."

Professional e-sports events currently attract audiences of millions.

专业电子竞技比赛一般可吸引数百万名观众.

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.
