Aren't Blizzard, GOMTV, MLG, IGN, Intel, Nvidia, or Razer multinational corporations? Don't they have business deals with each other to host video game tournaments for the projected revenue that the tournament will bring them? I'm just saying how it is. If you're going to be condescending, at least support it with evidence. | ||

Well I, for one, can't fucking stand it anymore. I don't care about Esports. In fact, I hope SC2 dies a swift death. I hope HotS gets delayed another year so WoL gets even more stale and even more players become disinterested. I hope we never get LAN. I hope all the sponsors pull out when they realize that marketing $200 dollar video cards to 16 year-olds too cheap to even pay for GomTV subscriptions is actually not a very good business plan. I hope Blizzard realizes they could make more money reskinning a WoW mount and selling it for 20 bucks in the virtual store than they could by making an RTS game and shunts all the funds away from SC2 and into the research and development of more sparkle ponies. I love you Gheed. | ||

There are also people like me, who like esports because of what it is now, and not what it would lose by going mainstream. We are people who like Starcraft, and like watching people play it, and like big tournaments, but always want that sort of feel you get when you and your pals gathered together in that arcade and played some games together. Esports is a niche, a middle-ground, where professional meets fun, where dreams meet reality, where video games meet sports, and to people like me, it should stay that way. (BTW, that thread made me facepalm, too. I'm surprised it's really that big of a deal. 50 bucks says that thread wouldn't exist if Quantic didn't hire Destiny) | ||

I can see why you're a popular blogger, though. You seem to have made a career at getting offended by things. | ||

A sport/community that needs to be hand-held to "popularity" by a bunch of over-zealous caregivers really doesn't have much longevity. There are so many witchhunts lately that it's really gotten disgusting. | ||

In the case of Destiny (I haven't read any of the thread and don't intend to), I'm doubting any significant punishment will occur. Quantic should have known what they were getting into when they brought him on and his actions should come as no surprise. Quantic's sponsers may be the ones in for a surpise though if people contact them like they did in the case of Orb, but I'm douting this will happen too. With that said, I think that anyone in ANY professional setting should realize their public actions could have consequences. This means not doing stupid shit like calling people retards or racial slurs if they want to keep getting paid. People are fired all the time over shit they say publicly (i.e. facebook posts) and saying things on ladder games is no different. | ||

It's like whining about professional soccer destroying your ability to kick a ball around with your friends. Esports evangelicism can be annoying as fuck, I dont disagree, but your post is silly. | ||

You play the game because it is fun, no one forces you to be a part of esports, if you don't like it, then don't be a part of it. But your lonely, you want to be part of a community, a cyber community with no real interpersonal relationships, and you blame esports for failure to provide this for you? Guess what, you know what makes esports what it is? Everyone here, the people you hate, and the ones you like. The real 'Esports' is just the result of competitive drive of some individuals who see a sector that has yet been exploited. You hate people. Surprise! Welcome to reality, it's the same every fucking place you go. Choose wisely where you invest yourself. | ||

All of the SC2 bandwagon may be getting excited knowing there will be a competitive televised league in South Korea with former BW players, but they're just doing it for the money. Honestly just read up on all of the latest ODT interviews and their opinions about SC2. It's always going to be about money and politics (newsflash: we live in the 21st century now) over gameplay. The magic is gone. Agree with this and 5/5 blog. I love SC2 but I hate what it's becoming of it. | ||
