Meh, the show was starting to become a redundant circle jerking anyway. Also JP was a terrible host, hopefuly someone more competent will grab the torch, although inside the game has been doing a pretty decent job at filling the gap. I say good riddance.

I would like to know the real reason why there is no Sotg. Time is not an issue for JP anymore, same goes for the pillars.
Either JP is lazy or greedy. Cant see any other reason.

How can you people really not do a little bit of your own fucking research? He has said on multiple occasions that he's dealing with sponsorship things for the show before bringing it back, and on The Chanmans (I think) show he said he hopes by the end of this year for everything to be signed and ready so that he can put out an episode.

Or maybe you could read the thread and watch the video JP recently posted. I know I know, that would require you to make an intelligent and informed statement, when it's more fun to just insult someone and get a reaction from people .


I understand where you are coming from but there is like 2,500 pages in this specific thread. Perhaps if you have an idea of what page that specific video is you could link it in a post as well because I don't think you can reasonably ask somebody to go through 500 pages let alone 2500 pages before being allowed to post.

On topic: I don't really think the problem is as simple as people are just lazy. I suspect something else is going on especially considering the sour reaction that some people in the community had in regards to the last show. A shame I really enjoyed the show and hope it starts up again soon.

Nobody ever cared about JP, we only cared about the other people, all he did was produce and organise it. It's not hard to do. We just need someone else to do it properly.


You really have no idea do you. I watched some other show with some of the stog people without jp to produce organize and give direction to the show, it was a fuckin mess. What Jp does look easy but its not, i might have not realized this if i had not seen the other show. The group dynamic change when people are missing from the show, it would still hold true if we removed JP, but since he his at the base of the pyramid, it would have a much greater impact than most people think.

There is no show atm because of LAWYER and CONTRACTS. One lawyer send a contract, receiver read it, make notes, resend it with new stuff in it, they talk about it and talk about it, and make more review and talk about those and fix something disagree about the new stuff, compromise... that would be between 2 party. There is 5 party. Jp the pillars and the corporation, and every lawyer has to agree wich each other lawyer about every single word and every single dot in the contract. Take Sc2 pro each one playing a different race, try to make em agree about balance for every single unit. That kinda what it is and this is why it take so long.

Have you not seen that youtube about it being out of JP hand for now, the ball isnt in his hands for now. It make my heart bleed when people say JP is not important to the show, i am sad that i was once also so ignorant but i learned. I hope the kids with the ragging hormones find some free porn and calm down for a while.

I would like to know the real reason why this guy doesnt put his show out every week for free, taking time out of his own life to do it, whilst making it great content, for my viewing pleasure?

people are fucking ungrateful

Tell me if I'm wrong


You're wrong. Idra and Incontrol have the time to be on OneMoreGame regularily. JP has the time to play and stream different roleplaying games. They should have the time, and I suspect it's just JP not wanting to focus on it right now.
I would love for the show to finally come back, but it's been a long time and I'm slowly losing interest.


You do know that Idra and Incontrol are both paid to be on Inside the Game? You do know that JP makes money off of his stream, subscribers and has been attempting to build out his YouTube channel? He also stated that State of the Game would hopefully return by the end of the year once the sponsorship deal with dealt with.

I like how people call out others when they have absolutely no idea what their talking about. Do you know JP personally? If not then you are not in a position to claim that he was the reason why the show was cancelled. Maybe it's not even about him? Calling people out for being lazy or greedy is just plain stupid if you don't have all the facts. This just spreads rumors that places people in a bad light for no reason.

This problem has came up very much recently and it sickens me. Thanks to baseless claims by few the rest of us looks stupid as well and we might miss out of good content from the talent we have because we discourage them.


All I and alot of others want, is a reason why our favorite show is gone. And when there is no reason, ofc there will be speculation and rumors.

I know my statement came out a bit harsh, but it is the word on the street.
JP could easily explained the situation to people, but he doesnt. Instead he streams old wow achievements and makes a new dailyshow where he reads results from liquipedia.
Even in his recent video "about me", there is not one mention about SotG. But he states that there will be alot of wow streaming in the future.
You guys have to understand that this makes SotG fans frustrated.


JP has already explained it to everyone several times. The contract with the sponsor is being worked out and it is taking far longer than he hoped. What else is there to explain? Do you want him to provide details about sponsor and how the contract is being held up? Do you think that all the SotG fans expressing their displeasure of the hold up to the sponsor would be good for JP or the show?

I think people need to accept that the hosts are busy with their own lives. That the show is not practical for them to do for free, but they still want to do it. It is not great news, but it is the truth. But this entitled bullshit is nonsense. We don't own any of the hosts and if JP wants to build out his stream and youtube, real fans would support him.

I've been listening to Starcast, tbh. They're pretty good.

And yes, you can listen to both.

Also, and I hate to say this but it's true, I've continually lost interest to in the show as time went on because the hosts kept getting pushed further and further away from top tier of competition in SC2. For me, their opinions have lost a lot of weight in the grand scheme of things, so whenever there was a discussion on balance or theorizing I couldn't take it too seriously. If SOTG returns, I hope to see a new host or a consistent stream of guests that are ranking highly in tournaments. Lastly, it'd be nice of the hosts of the show could just purely ignore the chat and the community, because the obsession with public opinion sometimes severely derails the show.

Take your time in returning. SOTG would be most appreciated during the first HOTS tournaments, and until then it's just a little extra fluff of content.

why would you make such a stupid, snide remark and then be completely wrong about your facts (and also interpretation of what MrSexington was actually saying)?

It's true, I wasn't being mean. I just want to say how much I have enjoyed watching JP stream all the different video games lately, especially Borderlands 2. As long as he keeps putting out such great content, I don't care if State of the Game ever comes back <3

Honestly it doesn't seem like this show is part of what JP wants to do anymore, which is totally fine, but I think he ought to designate a new host.

A lot of people have said the exact same crap like this in this thread. And to be honest, you and the other people who write this crap have no idea what they are saying.

JP can do whatever the fuck he wants. He doesn´t owe you guys anything and he doesn´t have any commitment to produce content for you guys. And to be honest, if I were JP I wouldn´t even produce content for ungrateful people like you.

JP being lazy? Seriously, that man has done a lot for Esport. And also, what´s wrong with being busy with other stuff? Again, he can do whatever he wants in his free time. He´s playing a game he enjoys on his stream. There´s absolutly nothing wrong with that.

People like you and all other people who share your opinion should stop posting this crap here.

If I recall correctly, the latest episode of State of the Game was roughly 3 months ago (not 6). I believe that is the part that wasn't true about your post.

I have been going through some of the older episodes and holy shit I really miss this show. Just Tyler's Logic bombs and Incontrol being crazy, JP trying to get everyone to stop talking about BW every 5 minutes it was all just great. Now that HOTS is out I really want them Back Tyler has been taking about alot of his opinions on his stream and it really makes me miss SOTG even more.
