Greed in a charity event ?
Ok You do realize that the organizers are paid depending on how much money they raise right? Uh, no? GDQ was paid in advance by MSF, MSF gets 100% of what they manage to collect during the event. + Show Spoiler +Sure, you could maybe say that GDQ will get more or less money next year depending on what they manage to get this year, but that's stretching it a bit imo. The amount they were paid this event was based on the last event thus the more they receive this event the more they will receive the next event. Not sure how that is stretching it Since the amount is agreed on beforehand by setting up a budget you don't actually know that. If the budget is way out of line MSF will probably not agree. It's not like they get a flat percentage next year depending on how they did this year. MSF could just as well pay out less money next year (or decide that it isn't worth it at all). Now, I think GDQ probably runs a profit on these events, but I also don't think there's a bunch of people getting rich from this.
I believe they said somewhere that MSF provides funding at roughly 17% of the amount of expected money raised.
Which, when you get down to it, is actually money required to run events this large. Renting the space alone is a giant cash pit.

I think the 17% was from PCF at ADGQ. It's possible MSF does something similar I guess.
Yeah, it does cost a bit to run these events.

Of course it costs a lot to run it but the problem is the way they are abusing underpaid staff so that the top names can make a whole lot of money for nothing. The fact that the speedrunners themselves have to pay attendance fee is pretty shameful if you ask me

No real way to know if the staff is underpaid unless you have some source on that. But it certainly isn't impossible, that would be pretty common in general I suppose?
+ Show Spoiler +The fact that the speedrunners have to pay the fee I can agree on though, they should get in free imo.
[Edit]
Apparently the speedrunners and volunteers do get in free now.

As long as you're playing red/blue. Yellow has encounters.

How is secret cow level in hell? if you kill the king, you can never visit it again?
If you kill the king on a specific difficulty, you cant open the cow level on this difficutly again. its a hidden quest in the cow level and if you succed, its done and over. With multiplayer the rule is a bit more complex. Also for singleplayer you have work arounds, edit a file so you can kill the king as often as you like or use plugy, which kinda does the same.

Runners and volunteers have not had to pay the registration fee since SGDQ 2015. AGDQ 2016 and SGDQ 2016 had free registration for accepted runners and volunteers.

Ah, I didn't know they had changed it. Thanks.

At the rate they're going, this SGDQ is going to finish well beyond 3am
Sort of sucks, but at least the last game I'm interested in watching will be the Super Metroid race
edit: I thought FFVI was gonna be 6 hours long. Guess they will finish before 3am, but still way later than originally scheduled

Just listening to these guys, I could have saved so much time playing this as a kid.

But there's no real need to rush through the game when you enjoy it, is there?

Nah, I was just having a bit of fun. I only have fond memories of Pokemon because my brother had Red and I had Blue and despite the fact that I am five years younger than him, I remember kicking his ass over the GB link as a kid.

here we go with the amazing tas runs
ALL WATCH THE MARIO BROS RUN
|
What exactly is so special about TAS playing 4 games at the same time? TAS is awesome for sure, but unless all inputs where the same (which they where not), it wouldn't matter how many games he plays at the same time. Still nice though, but so far no TAS-run entertained me more than the N64 Mario Cart run. That shit was hilarious and impressive at the same time.

The inputs were the same.

You sure? Because the movement wasn't at all.

Yes, it was the same input. But the latency for the games was different, so the inputs were not in sync for the whole run.
