But it makes sense in a corporate standpoint: if KeSPA is using a product to engage in a money making business, the creator of the game definitely should get royalties. Blizzard is bigger now than they were in BW and they have to exert that right as a company. KeSPA is just not willing to adapt and are sore about it. You have a lot to learn young one. How so its a pretty straight forward issue. Nice troll post. If you want to engage in a discussion about this take it to one of the 234732047 threads we have about it already. | ||

This makes sense from a business standpoint, if steve wozniak still worked for apple, you wouldn't want him giving a live demo at a microsoft tradeshow about windows 7 if you were apple's CEO would you. Sucks for us tho | ||

Then why would that random guy in korea have to illegally stream the showmatch on his own stream if Koreans aren't blocked from IEM? | ||
