Stream advertisers will simply incur a premium for this phenomenon, estimated by those that are providing the revenue. Consider women and men. Firms would first charge women a premium for the risk that they'll become pregnant and waste company resources before simply firing them all! (This assumes unbiased management who are trying to maximize shareholder wealth, without legal constraints on discrimination). | ||

Unfortunately I dont have that kind of money and i'm pretty much sick of all this panhandling nonsense that goes on around the SC2 scene. "I quit my job in the emergency room to support esports and esports fired me" someone hire me! "I'm a progamer that made bank in the GSL but I need the community to support me to MLG" uh...what? "I signed for 23k worth of debt for some guy and now I might go to jail or lose my business" no thanks I'll leave the stream on but thats it. Charitycraft is getting really old. Community bailout is getting old. User was warned for this post | ||

She is the one that got suckered into fronting money. As a business, you never front money without guarantee in payment upfront. This is how business is run. Let's say this wasn't SC related, she would simply have to suffer the consequence of doing business in this way. Im sorry to say, its just the way it is. Sure, the community will help, because this is the SC community, one of the best in the world. Although I have sympathy for the situation because nobody really deserves to be scammed, it does in fact happen, but people in business should be diligent enough to prevent these things from happening. Im sorry this had to happen to Amanda, but she should have this settled in court and and have the police track Gus down, Sue gus, and then try her best to get her money back that way. GL You don't know really know how things work in third world countries work... Canada's way of handling things is very different from the Philippines man. :-S | ||

GL No one ever said she didn't make a mistake. ... But no one ever said the community OWES the money. It's a support stream and DONATION button. It's not so easy to just 'sue gas', especially considering the legal infrastructure in the region. | ||

Community bailout is getting old. That was the community wanting to see him at MLG. He never asked for the community to sponsor him to go, and he probably didn't want to go before that because it was expensive and had very little profit. | ||
