I don't think there is anything else to say... I can't bash grubby, the guy is still trying to survive as a pro-gamer and hasn't been able to adapt correctly. Gaming has been his job for so many years, I don't think he would just deny SS to promote something even BLIZZARD sells in their store.

Imagine some company was selling a maphack, and Grubby would do a video explaining why you should get it etc.. Would you say that Grubby is not responsible / not to blame ?
That's the exact same situation.
|
bliz make sure several times in all there games that macros that do more than 1 action for 1 click is cheating and get banned. So basicly this is a video where gruby say that he cheat and explain how to cheat in the game.

Yes, doing an ad for your sponsor to advertise a macro keyboard is seriously for someone without morale, go reread your posts and if you still don't see why you're debating in extreme's I am done talking to you anyway I'll stop derailing the thread.

Im sure somebody already said it but if you are upset about this ad go write steelseries an email explaining what they are doing wrong. If enough people do this they will respond. It would be bad business to ignore your target.

OMG YES, THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME, RIMSHOT E-SPORTS ARGUMENT!!11
Whether Grubby promotes it or not doesn't really change much that it will be on the market, it will garner the interest of those with malicious intent and if you're concerned with mixed messages being sent out to potential innocent buyers, consider Blizzard's own mistakes.
Your example of Hitler in comparison to grubby and "morals" are vastly different and on a whole new level. First off, I think you mean values. Secondly, I think you need to consider other factors besides the redundant issue of "money".

It's equivalent or on a comparable level as Hitler and genocide? I don't think so.

All the hype about a keyboard aimed at 12 year olds who can't get through campaign and a progamer who promotes it as a consequence of his contract with his sponsor.
These kind of equipment have always been around and were always promoted by progamers in someway or another. This one suffers from being a little careless but no big deal imho.

Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe grubby didnt even know that its illegal to do so by blizzards ToS?
Ever consider that?
this would hardly ruin the game. macros would not make you any better than you are already

Ultimately a silly thread, but the people who act as if Grubby isn't responsible for which products he endorses are even dumber.

How is this derailing. This is the whole point of this thread. Grubby made a video to promote cheating. He would've been aware that it was cheating. He would've had a chance to turn it down. He did neither. People saying he had to do it are wrong, people saying its kosher are wrong. I dont see how promoting cheating and cheating are suddenly mutually exclusive.

If the battles in Starcraft 2 were actual real battles in which people would die if you loose, you should do everything you could think of to increase your chance of winning. However, this is a game, a competitive game at that, where people shouldn't be able to get an advantage by spending money.
It's as if a hockey team would set up snipers mid game and shoot the gear off of the other teams goalie...

That's the exact same situation.
Is the maphack from a responsible, credible company who directly supports E-Sports and its players to provide years of entertainment, value and worth?

If you want to have an extreme nerd crusade for moral internet justice go bash blizzard, they are the ones who set up the double standard of banning macros but putting their name on and endorsing SC2/WOW products with macros built in. Grubby is advertising a product with a clear disclaimer on it that it is illegal in said situations.

Yes everyone makes mistakes, but when they leave the mistake on Youtube, seemingly with no intention to remove it, it's NOT ok. Someone once said that only spoiled brats don't clean up after their mistakes.

FUCK YEAH GODWIN'S LAW.
Personally, I find the whole affair hilarious. Now unknowing people will buy the keyboard, use a bunch of macros and will eventually be banned by Blizzard for doing so. I don't see anything wrong with that, it's up to them to read the goddamn ToS and adhere to them.
