wut?
Btw, to gain larger of an audience we should ban every sponsor that may have a negative aspect, even indirectly.
Such as:
Energy drinks for giving a bad image (of horny teenagers obviously),
Tasteless for bringing up sex,
Alcohol and pork for they are banned to muslim people (and beef for hindu),
Clothing companies for benefiting from cheap labor in asia,
GSM companies for cellphones produce radiation,
Peanuts for they can kill people with an allergy,
Condoms for they remind of premarital intercourse,
Coffee for some african people perform female circumcision,
We should just have ebook readers and acoustic musical instruments as sponsors.
This thread looks like energy drinks help some people's moms to scold at their teenage sons for watching to much StarCraft
But it doesn't stop there the in-game effects need to be altered as well because they are promoting bad behaviors... - Blood effects are removed. - Units shoot rainbows and butterflies (essentially the broodling animation, but pretty and has wings) - Nukes are illegal because they remind us of nuclear weapons being used on Japan. - All Terran units are now a murky off-brown color, not representing any sort of race or ethnicity. - Men can now pilot medivacs, women can now be marines. - etc.
If this thread is all (or even partially) about the fact it is promoting bad habits in kids, these need to all be accounted for as well. This game is rated Teen for a reason and there is nothing wrong with energy drink sponsors.
Here in sweden you have to be 15 to buy energy drinks due to a recent LAW and have to show your ID everytime you want to buy them.
And comeon what kind of nerd does not eat microwaveable food and drink energy drinks, some people think drinking energy drinks makes you cool some drink them for the taste.
Redbull <-- i swear ive seen so many sport tournaments sponosored by this skiing racing etc.
Monster - Dont tell me this add makes u kinky DAT ASS Spoilered due to hawt ass + Show Spoiler +
Its still money and sponsor STANDS OUT in the crowd.
Look at this guy he has collected lots of energy drinks
Feel bad for him or just complement him on his achievement?
Since it's already something that is so being in the e-sport culture and the prodcuts are out there I think it's fine. Sure they aren't the best thing for your body but then again it's something that I don't think is as bad as tobacco or alcohol so hey just do it. I wouldn't mind alcohol comapneies sposoring either as it's also an ok product as long as it is in moderation.
Justbecause they're sposoring doesn't have that big of an effect at least not on me. I mean I do enjoy some energy drinks at lans and dreamhack etc but it doesn't make me wanna drink it everyday. And as for things like this I mean Monster especially is something I'll never buy because their energy drinks taste like shit so I mean them sponsoring sc2 teams won't change anything for me.
Anyone remember Jolt cola?? gamers were swinging "energy" drinks before energy drinks were invented.
Anyway, I don't want to come across as an ass but I am constantly surprised by the amount of puritanical attitude on this forum. Maybe I'm getting old but in my day (+/-Amiga) most nerds were the cyberpunky "not giving a fuck" type, sort of like punks just sporting bottle-bottom glasses and better hairdos, reading fat books by the basketball court being weird.
Now you have people complaining about this and that, curse words, women, energy drinks, professionalism, manner, gg, wp, some guy even complained about using the word sex. I mean, seriously?
Is this what the basement dwelling, grinding, farming, proud-to-be whitewashed by screen glare, carpal tunnel infested gamer is supposed to be like? Dunno man... I for one love energy drinks. I love corny jokes, I love silly chicks and drunk mornings and sex. Can't have enough of that. And when I'm done with it I don't gg :p
