Do not think the sc2 community will vent to much about this .Pax has never been a sc2 venue nor a sc2 reperesentative tournament like mlg,dremahack,gsl,osl etc.I personally only know about PAx since lol has a special event really PAX.Even the dota2 people are exagerrating a little bit since PAX does not have any large dota2 tradition.Yet it was from the very beginning a central riot/lol event
@PassiveAce
No.Now the question is:if valve valve and blizzard knew from the beginning about the requirements of PAX why did they not do anything about it?This can be the start of a beautiful witchhunt against valve and blizzard so everyone needs to keep their pitchforcs clean and sharp because you never know what will happen in the next couple of days.I persoanally might be writing this articles on reddit on my alt accounts so stay tuned and do not forget to upvote any pitchform articles you will find on reddit.

We would expect no less from the boy who cried wolf.

This is another example of sensationalism to the extreme in a rather unexciting scenario.
I'll concede that the statement "Riot paying PAX to block other games" does provide an explanation for why LoL is present and Dota2 / SC2 is not. However, just because it seems to fit doesn't immediately imply that it is true. It's an example of a frustrating trend particularly seen in gaming communities as of late. An explanation that "fits the situation" is immediately accepted as the correct explanation. Worse, people repeat it as gold truth!
The behavior gets out of hand when "discussion points" emerge from the (false) explanation, cementing a damaging viewpoint in others' minds. For example, "Should Riot be allowed to block other games?" "Is Riot abusing their power?" "Maybe this is the way of marketing in the future!" "Why did PAX accept that sort of money in this circumstance?" "Are they in financial trouble? Were they strongarmed?" etc etc. After a few hours, readers will begin internalizing the idea of "Riot paying off companies/organizations to feature them at the expense of others" or "PAX willing to do anything for money."
With heart-pounding readers seething at the dirty deal discussions, how weak does it sound for Robert Khoo to step in and say "Guys... that didn't happen" ? The average human mind wants an equally dramatic, weighty "truth" to replace the steeply controversial one. Remember all those internalized falsities? Here's where they pop up! "So, maybe Riot didn't pay you, but I understand that PAX is willing to do anything for more money!" "Well, what if Riot does start paying off PAX? I'm sure they've done it in other circumstances." "Psshh, do you really expect me to believe that? The evidence is pretty damning."
It's fucking maddening to read =[. Again, the "issue" presented in the OP is, in fact, a non-issue. But, some serious damage has already been done. Future PAX's now have to be hyper watchful of certain games not installing properly, or simply being overlooked (there's a ton of multiplayer games out there), lest they walk into another damaging, fabricated controversy >.<

Well said, Day[9].
Just another example of how a drama-hungry chunk of the community will jump on any and every opportunity to stir shit up and cause outrage.
Funny, it's the only thing the OP seems to be doing as of late in his posts...

With that, I think this thread has run its course.
