90% of the proceeds from the replay sales will be put into the prizepool of another, much larger tournament and replays itself are kind of "bonus" for your support. (anyway as far as i remeber the majority of TSL replays wasn't released so this sale thing somehow could be better way) | ||

But after SC2's release, good replays became very hard to come by. I think that is also advantageous, as I have watched many ladder replays packs and have been very impressed (specifically why I picked Ramms to win ISL). I heard it was more than it is, I didn't know it was only 5$ for the reps. Furthermore, agree with guy above me  | ||

That and $5 is pretty much dirt cheap anyway, especially getting hundreds or thousands of reps for a great cause. | ||

It's easier to get high level pro / semi pro gamer replays than it is to get ISL replays of top foreigners for money, Just seems like that makes no sense. Its not about the replays at all, its just about making a donation to the Brood War comunity and in exchange Game will hand over the replays. I mean everyone likes to see cash tourneys organized and invested in by big doners, but these are hard to find(I'd assume) so if everyone pitches in a lil bit, its no hastle for the individual really, its pocket change, yet you can help create, you can give back to the community. If you're ignorant enough to think that Game is doing this for personnal benefit after having pulled off such a successful well organized tour then just don't donate the funds and certainly don't post. I mean yes, a donation system would maybe look a little better on the cover, but who are we kidding, ppl will look at it and say "pay" or "free". So yeah. Its better to have a little less of a cover image if the intentions are right imo.

Its better to have a little less of a cover image if the intentions are right imo. I agree with you, but I don't agree with the way Game brought up this in the first place. People see words "replay sales" and they don't even read the rest of the thread to form their opinion (I know I didn't). Instead of putting so much emphasis on replay sales, he should've made this thread more about donations for next bigger and better BW tourneys and as a thank you for your donation, you get a replay pack as a bonus. Because in the end, this is exactly that, a donation for the next BW tourney, but this ambiguity is confusing people. I'd much rather donate money for a BW tourney, instead of buying replays to help. | ||

P.S 2pac I agree, but it's specific to a target audience who would be interested. It surely turns off those with the same view as you, but there will be a time for all things monetary to be presented for this next tournament and this just happens to be the right thing for this part. | ||

Why not just have a donation page? I personally would be more likely to donate that way. This whole thing seems distasteful or something even though its probably not meant to be. | ||

This whole thing seems distasteful or something even though its probably not meant to be. So say I buy these reps, what guarantee do I have that the players won't just release them themselves? A: I'd imagine the majority of them all knowing this concept exists wouldn't be spiteful enough to ruin it. Just as well, it takes a lot of effort. The 10% that isn't going to the next tournament who is it paying and why? A: The help of the tournament (minus me), specifically nOoNe and JoeKim who have put countless hours into the tournament. P.S. all donations are welcome. | ||

In the original version of the OP, Game included me along with nOoNe and JoeKim as recipients of the 10%. I asked to be taken out because I'm also somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of selling replays. I also don't really need the money, so I'd rather it go towards another awesome tournament anyway | ||

Even both TSL released all the reppacks for free after they finished. I wouldnt pay a dime to watch some scrubs playing on iccup when i get free vods of pros playing every week. I agree with this man. Anyhow anyone could post his reppack in public (like me - tho nobody cares about my games) | ||
