EPT@TB's post: There is nothing to refute. He does wonderful things and spends his money doing it.. where the fuck do I say otherwise? I merely said he came to SC2 to make money. I then said I respected that less than someone who is hired blindly. Agree or disagree fine..but how you can hate me and assert I am disrespecting him etc is bullshit. I didn't qualify my statement as some severe level of hate.. I said it was worse to me than X.. who the fuck are you guys to know what level of annoyance I was speaking to?

The only reason an EG sc2 division even exists is because of the money making potential in the sc2 scene. I mean what about http://www.gosuguide.com/? Only $99.99 ! You can't criticize others when you're trying to milk as much money out of the sc2 scene yourself. Besides that, appreciate the read and info on NASL. Oh my god... a FULL 100$ for an SC2 GUIDE?!?!? Wow, now your interview looks thrice as ridiculous. | ||

SC2 involves a fair amount of monetary investment, lot of equipment purchased to improve casting quality (for instance I now have a 2-channel compressed audio interface and good quality headsets), travel costs for tournaments, the cost of the tournaments and sponsoring stuff like the UK University Team League, as well as paying half my casting revenue to those who co-cast with me such as TLO and Apollo. SHOUTcraft 2 will definitely make me a loss, I won't make that money back from the VoDs. The profit margin on SC2 is low, as is the income relative to everything else. WTF is makes a pretty absurd amount of money and more often than not, requires no monetary investment. The games are usually provided for free. But yeah, SC2 is not a charity gig for me, it does make me money, but nowhere near as much as everything else I do. I do have a fairly diverse portfolio of series. Edited my post. Yeah, I thought saying you don't make any profit off of SC2 was pushing it >.> Should have reworded my post after noticing. | ||

Saying he only came to SC2 to make money has no basis, and the fact that money was part of the motivation for getting into SC2 is true for pretty much everyone involved, including you. | ||

Would you say you started playing Starcraft to make money? TB didn't get paid for a lot of his early SC stuff as he wasn't a youtube partner. He did it because he enjoyed it. TB didn't see SC as a get rich ticket for him as you made it seem with your statements. That is where the problem arises. TB didn't come to the SC community to make money he just happens to make some from it. People aren't attacking you because you said somthing they don't agree with they are attacking you because you've said somthing false and even after 30 pages of responses you still try and defend your original statement. | ||

Even though no one called Incontrol evil, they were simply pointing out the irony of saying someone does something for money by pointing out Incontrol makes money through his own ways. | ||

If you don't understand what that means, in order to get paid for any videos you do, you have to be a partner, so I wasn't earning anything at all from it before that. I think you can draw your own conclusions there. inControL, I think the conclusion from there is that he didn't come in only for the money because he didn't earn any money for the first six months. Anyway that's what I thought he said. On you're main point I think you're wrong is some strange anti market economy way. I think it's usually better that people come into things to make money since that produces better results in the long run. But that's just my 6 years of econ education talking. <3 anyway, keep up the good work. <3 TB also  | ||

Indeed, I don't think it would have nearly come across as bad if it were an audio/video interview. Money aside, I respect anybody who puts their time into this industry. SC2 isn't exactly the most profitable area to cover. However, it is the genuine dedication from people like yourself, TB, djWheat, etc. that keeps us returning for more and more content. On the flip side, I feel like anyone who produces content in this industry isn't just in it for the money. Yes, some may have "came for the money", but today's most prominent figures certainly aren't in it for just the money alone; that would be stupid IMO. | ||

The problem a lot of people are seeing is this: but I think all criticism is valid, it just depends on how you go about voicing those concerns. But when someone is basically just being a jerk, making personal attacks, making claims about someones professionalism, or who they respect, when those things are pushed too far you risk becoming just some anonymous flamer on a forum. - By iNcontroL Either way TB has responded (I missed his post the first time around) and both him and tyler have made reasonable responses in this thread. Now if only Lidnsey would make a TL account and join the fray :D | ||

I can't help you if you refuse to correctly interpret my posts... "educating me" on the opinion I have? wtf... someone can say I am not that great of a player and I can go "what? I won X and took X place in X event" and they can STILL have that opinion, you realize this right? So please, spare me the "educate" bullshit. You guys overreacted and jumped the gun on a really insignificant thing... read the fucking interview and TRY to find me saying the things about TB you guys think I said. I didn't. And when asked, I explained what I meant AND STILL didn't say anything bad about him lol PS: People saying I "came to SC2 for the money" are the cream of the crop in terms of stupid. I didn't play bw for 12 years so I can roll in the riches of my EG salary in SC2 and coach for an hourly rate.. lol | ||
