Still, WCG will fail without Blizzard. I'm not worried either way, or we'll hear nothing from this again (I think this will happen) and everything will go as last year. Or for some magical reason samsung gets their way and Blizzard will laugh and there are other tourneys who will gladly catch it and we'll still get the games. WCG will fail without Blizzard, but Blizzard's games won't fail without WCG. | ||

I'm playing Blizzard games using a Samsung monitor... Hopefully my computer won't start acting like a disturbed child and throw a tantrum. | ||

They have a widely popular BW team that's star player Stork is just a fan by everyone and yet they don't want Brood war at WCG.. WCG is nearly wrecked from the economic downturn and Samsung wants it to do it's thing without having more then likely at least 2 of the top three titles at the event. It's like Samsung is just purposely trying to wreck WCG. It makes no sense unless they just want to make sure WCG is delt with. | ||

KeSPA has forced teams to exclude players from the Blizzard-sponsored GOM tournaments. Basically the entire situation is a shitstorm, and WCG was in it the entire time - we just weren't aware of it because there was so much shit in the air. I wonder how much of the lawsuit is Activision and how much of it is Blizzard... I think both sides are at fault and that the sport and the fans suffer the consequences. | ||

Without these two, games left in decreasing enjoyment are CS, FIFA (yep, this is the second one now) and bunch of cell phone games. They need to include at least BW and WC3 as they are the main games. Yeah, the issue about copyright is messy right now. But if they don't include these two games, might as well shut down WCG for this year. To be honest, how can they get people to come and only watch CS and FIFA... | ||

man why cant we just buy blizz games and do what we want with them? I mean I/we did all pay money right? Like unless blizz has a contract when I purchase the game explicitly saying, "when you buy this you can not use this," i have no idea why this is even still an argument | ||

The copyright thing has to do with private use only and not generating profit from the game (what WCG is doing). | ||

So until then, jog on blizzard, and try not to choke on the fucking billions you've already made. Revolution is in the air for our generation and you are starting to piss us off. | ||

As it stands right now, all they have to offer is their poorly constructed battle.net ladder system that fails to deliver the basic necessities needed for determining a players actual ranking (inexcusable things like a repungently stagnant map pool and the inability for cross realm play). So until then, fuck off blizzard, and try not to choke on the billions of profit you've already made. I doubt it's about money, remember they placed a 1 (yes, ONE) dollar fee on some legal thing to make this work. It's about private property being used to generate money unauthorized by the copyright owners. This is a crime like, everywhere in the world, except maybe in south america (we love our pirate distributors), but then again companies don't mind what happens here. That doesn't mean I agree with what they did, I'd need to analyze it further to give an informed opinion, but up to now, with what I've read, it doesn't seem to be about money. Hell, blizz makes much more money than it needs only with wow. I think blizz doesn't even care, they're starting to advertise other events and the real loser is WCG, especially considering they play in Asia. WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO WATCH WCG ONLY FOR CS???.. I mean.. it's a pretty good game, but blizz' RTSs make the bulk of the action and the viewership. Seems like a pretty shitty desperate move by samsung to try to impose something. It won't work, I don't think Blizz will bite. | ||
