I don't think it's fair to lay all the blame on Grubby, but I don't think he's coming off very well here either. If he said something to Steelseries and they ignored him and made him do the ad anyway then he's done nothing wrong. I don't think many professional sportspersons would knowingly attach themselves to an ad endorsing 'illegal' acts though, sponsor or not. | ||

The only games I can think of them being useful in is MMOs but those generally have macro functionality built into the game anyway. One has hims advertising something illegal, advertising it is not an illegal action, the product may be. Your example is having him perform a direct illegal action. Good try. | ||

-Grubby: Fulfilling his contract to Steelseries = No problem. -Steelseries: Trying to sell their product to make money = No problem. -Blizzard: Selling those macro keyboards in the Blizzard store and then banning you for it = Greed topped with Hypocrisy. If you are in a bad mood and feel like hatting on someone, it should be Blizzard. | ||

Steelseries: As mentioned in the disclaimer above, we are of course aware that most tournaments are not allowing macro use. However, the majority of SC2 players are not playing competitively, and could benefit from using these features. Grubby is of course only demonstrating the use of the keyboard and software, as he is an active professional. Apologies for any confusion this might have caused.  I just think that Steelseries didn't realize that using macros was against the TOS... They weren't trying to promote cheating, but at the same time needed to do more research. | ||

Grubby is doing what he is said to. | ||

I guess you can use macros when you play on LAN -- maybe SteelSeries is marketing to the BW crowd. :p | ||

The video even has a disclaimer, but i honestly believe people would rather find things to whine about hurting ESPORTS/no longer fan of X player/random drama trash that is really popular all of the sudden. | ||

If I caught my opponent using one of these, I'd go to his house and beat him over the head with it. What's the macro for pick up keyboard -> raise keyboard -> bash head with keyboard -> repeat? BOOM SANDWICH | ||
