I know it's only a year but that alone is enough to create legal issues. thought M was 18, I guess they changed it a couple years ago. when I bought Halo 3 they asked for ID because I had to be 18+ and it's rated M. Go figure, there is hardly any violent action in the game, just rag doll physics compared to Gears which is one of the most violent MP games around. | ||

They are considering a team and/or their own tournaments. If they offer $50k-$100k prize money at a Brazzers tournament - are players like Justin Wong/Ricky Ortiz going to be prevented from attending by EG due to sponsorship implications? Also let's say it's Streetfighter - Capcom are pretty lax about letting people run tournaments/make money from coverage of their game which Blizzard for example are pretty strict about - I could see Capcom taking legal action to prevent a Brazzers tournament using their games. As a sidenote you could see unaffiliated players who make money from streaming take a Brazzers sponsorship on their stream to display the logo 24/7 - as they have no corporate masters to be scared of. $0.02 | ||

I've tried to interact with the fighting game community over the years. They tend to be very standoffish and racists. Starcraft II and RTS communities (Even MMO communities like WoW and The Old Republic [A.i.E]) have been far more accepting and reasonable with peoples differences. The fighting game community still thinks it's at the arcade, and people are not watching their antics. | ||

Which makes it funny that they would ban any logos of Brazzers on their stream. Really, porn isn´t ok, but all the other shit that goes on in the fighting game community is... I can't tell if this is satire or ignorance. Two of the most famous people in the fgc are gay Another famous person is a transexual mtf | ||

Though I can understand tournaments and publisher that don`t want to be related to this kind of industry, because a huge part of their target market are underaged kids. but kids want to be adults so bad! so it's a perfect marketing scheme | ||

Imagine Incontrol saying "Thank you to my sponsors, Monster Energy, Steelseries, Intel, Brazzers, Bigfoot,..." And isn't it considered like porn advertisement? I think it's illegal in some countries | ||

By shunning porn they save face and eSports goes down with honour. What a crying shame. Maybe it should all just crash and burn so we can stop the discussions. EDIT: At least porn will never go away. | ||

It's so ingrained in the culture that nudity/sex are massively taboo, but violence is ok. I never questioned it until I was talking to a few Europeans and they brought up how it was almost the opposite in Europe, and I didn't really have much to rebuttal them on why our policies are as such. | ||

While I personally wouldn't care if Brazzers was a sponsor of a team with good players, I am not certain the general community at large wouldn't be upset over hypocritical morality issues (as opposed to all of the underlying societal issues which make them hypocritical) in any one region of the US, not to begin to think of the more global community. (Heck, isn't it illegal for Bomber to even play a slot machine while waiting for the GSTL finals by Korean law?) | ||
