If they suceed with Kespa, then there will be no stopping them to take over anything at anytime they want. Blizz does not want to share with the comunity, they want the whole cake. Would be near enough impossible to do. | ||

That's true, but with the same logic, they could ask TL to remove all the vods from the nevake account. I guess they wouldn't make money out of it, so they probably won't, but as soon as that may be in their interest you can say goodbye to nevake youtube account. | ||

Fuck you, Blizzard. It's clear the philosophy is no longer 'by gamers for gamers.' Any gamer would think their game being made into a legitimate sport is more important than making a little more money. If Blizzard takes over eSports, it's no longer legitimate, because eSports will hang in the balance of how long Blizzard feels it's profitable... which isn't exactly reliable. Imagine Blizzard were just one guy, and KeSPA were just one guy. Blizzard is some budding artist who's really good at what he does, but doesn't really get that much recognition. KeSPA busts his ass helping his friend promote himself and Blizzard becomes insanely famous and rich. Now Blizzard just feels like forgetting about what KeSPA did for him and is going to kick him on the street. | ||

I mean, it's obvious that Blizzard has tons of money, but they just can't get enough, huh? SC is now more than 10y old, i think it would be better when Bliz concentrates on SC2 and its marketing than seeking for every cent they get pull out from SC because so many people still plays it! | ||

- Fundamentally Sports are not something to be tackled using Intellectual Property. Does Adidas, who makes Soccer balls, demand usage fees from the World Cup? Similarly, car companies do not ask for usage fees from racing car contests." That might be the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life | ||

After reading these, I imagined Blizzard as some legion of demons tearing up the village of ESPORTS. | ||

And that's fokn scary, as it is probably true. Blizzard only cares about money, so Im with KESPA all the way. Those profit driven corporations give humanity a bad name. | ||

Game is a tool with which you express your skill, Blizzard trying to own a game YOU played, is like manufacturer of a hammer trying to take ownage of a house YOU build with it. How can that sound reasonable to anyone? | ||

That might be the dumbest thing I have ever read in my life Actually, it makes perfect sense. The overreaching scope of MP (Monopoly Privileges) in our current system is what is dumb here. It is ridiculous that there is even this discussion. Blizzard should play its part, make the game, and be happy about the sales figures - not attempt to control the entire industry. | ||

The soccer ball in this case is a tool/instrument the artist/athlete use to create art/entertainment. I tried to make it as straightforward as possible. You are an artist. You use Adobe Photoshop. You bought it at a store. After you've been marginally successful after 10 years, Adobe sends you a letter stating they should have ownership of your artwork and they want a cut. I think that speaks for itself. | ||
