I believe it would cost around 30-40$ to make since the parts aren't exactly cheap.

Willing to Paypal $40-50 for a GG button [please be fair, manufacturing costs + a few bucks to make it worth your while]. This is a serious post. Please PM me if you are interested.
Awesome seeing BoxeR with one. XD

way to capitalize on someone elses unpatented idea whoever you are. Wonder if the original that was easy button creators/staples have any ownership claim at all.

Wow, that really sucks.... will there be some sort of lawsuit following? Is it possible? Taking someone's else idea (in this case, GHOSTCLAW) of the GG Button and selling it off for profit... That's just wrong...

Well is Ghostclaw making buttons though? If he is, then its kinda bogus and i'll gladly support Ghostcrawler instead. If not then why not? Not like they're stealing customers from him?
|
Ya there is nothing wrong with people making these just because somebody else did it first if that is the case. It's a GG button. Not that big of a deal.

How long did it take you this time? I remember working through the night to get that stupid ESPORTS button finished.

no it's perfectly moral imho (and maybe legal). If you don't take the considerations and laws into your side, then it's your own fault.

It is possible to get a design patent on something like that, which could explain why the GG button is blue and a slightly different shape.

Hey guys, I'm one of the two guys who made the blue GG button you see floating around. We actually started working on this right after we saw it in NalRa Oldboy 7 I think, which would be around June, so I guess it was before this post (I remember an older post).
We wanted a button, but figured that Ghostclaw had only made a few by hand (in spare time) and it was next to impossible to get one. That was ok to us actually; we decided to just try and get some made and hopefully other people would probably be interested in it too.
We aren't out for mad profits or anything, we just enjoy SC like the rest of you. We didn't put it on the website (yet), but we only have a limited number of these buttons and after that we're done. It took 6-7 months to get it all together because it's just two of us in college and we're slow.
We really aren't trying to take anything away from Ghostclaw, and aren't able to get these into Korean players hands like he can! That's pretty sick actually. Think we should put where the original idea came from on the website (question to GC)??
As for why the button is blue, we felt blue was more "Starcrafty" I guess. Actually the Staples button and it's form, design, and color, etc are patented by Staples, so no one could actually make a button that looks exactly like that without getting legally screwed. I hope I cleared up some concerns. Sorry about spamming up your blog Ghostclaw

Lol, awesome. GG button.
Didn't Boxer say in the show that he would follow Nal_ra's progress? I am sure that he understood the association between GG button and Nada.
It's pretty insane to think that Nada carried your GG button around with him, during practice and let Nal_ra play with it.

Good job guys for doing it.
From my perspective, Ghostclaw should feel rewarded enough for the unexpected impacts that his GG button idea has created.
Just wait, one of these days Boxer will do a GG button ceremony and people will be like "wow, I want one of those".

Send me your ESPORTS button and I'll fix it Chill (then give it to Hot_Bid because I said I'd give him one like two years ago)
|
Also got mine today, pretty happy with it allthough i prefer the more muted GG of Ghostcrawler Not the best button to push after a bad loss 
Anyways, thanks guys!
