Edit: The story behind this: We were trying to get Boxer's attention for what seemed like forever. He was just grinding out games on ladder. He then stops and HuK wanders over and asks for some practice games. We also take that opportunity to send one of our friends Josh and Xeris to infiltrate the progaming area and ask him to meet us at the railing so we could give him the GG button. The pictures then ensued. Basically, apologies to HuK for stealing the Emperor for a few moments ^^ | ||

Oh hey, now Nada and Boxer both have GG buttons. It'd be pretty sweet if they both came into play in their next showmatch! | ||

Hopefully he understood it's real meaning that you are just a huge fanboy of his! I was also there and boy was it amazing. Seeing Boxer was a treat. I should post my picture with NexGenius! | ||

http://www.ggbutton.com/ no idea who they are though, and they don't look like the staples ones, so i'm not sure where they're shooting the plastic or getting the design. Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/GG-Button/103242819740276 | ||

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... | ||

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  | ||

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.

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". | ||

http://www.ggbutton.com/pages/faq Are there a limited number of these buttons? Yes, actually there are, and once we sell out that is it forever (unless there is a massive, and we mean massive, demand for more). | ||
