Re: Random: France Bans Gaming Terms Like 'eSports' To Maintain Language Purity

French Youtubers use english terms all the time with a strong french accent which make what they say very hard to understand even for bilinguals.

I find it funny all these people who are offended by this, while Youtube is full of messages from people who complain that some videos are commented in Spanish, French or portuguese.

Et je suis sûr que ce serait pareil ici. Si des francophones venaient commenter ici en français, il y aurait plein d'anglophones qui couineraient.

Since the 70s, we've been talking about " joueurs de jeux vidéo" (video game players), but now we have to say "gamers" to sound cool. If there is already a term that exists, why change to an English word that less than 10% of the population will understand?
