If they actually want to get business out of this in the long run I doubt it succeeds. Maybe its just their idea of a shitty joke though. | ||

Something such as Blizzard's last April Fools patch notes were funny. | ||

I'm going to go ahead and assume, especially with this going to be the first press release on the site that this is in fact an april fools joke. Personally, I love the kind of april fools joke that really makes people question stuff, gets the brain working and thinking! If this is not an april fools joke... ![]() | ||

Having to pay for your own travel expenses, expecting to be reimbursed, didn't set off any alarms? | ||

You were not screwed. This is not called a "scam". This is called "a group of children playing at business and someone fell down and skinned his knee". Change your ID back and enjoy the trip you paid for. Hilarious @ everyone telling you to sue. As if a typical pro Starcraft player contract is for enough of a salary to cover the cost of office supplies and gas to file the lawsuit. Are you joking? I know april fools day (here atleast) is tomorrow so are you trying to troll or something? He hasn't been paid, hasn't been able to contact his employers for 2 weeks, an apparently the same for players on the team. This is a pretty serious situation an you taking it lightly like this is just wrong so I think you need to straighten up man cause this is disgustingly wrong. | ||

All forms of publicity are not created equal. There is a point of no return where bad publicity hurts the organization. It's a discussion on when publicity hurts organizations. It's not different at all, because in both cases it will end up hurting the organization. It was good in the manner that EG made a statement and obliged with the community so to speak. This made them "heroes" in a sense, they showed that they do not tolerate racism and they did the right thing etc etc. They took a stand and ppl will applaude shit like that. | ||
