Just like UFC they need to have a show to talk about upcoming fighters right? Also SoTG have 20k viewers easily, so if you don't know a thing pls don't talk. First of all I wasn't talking about sotg at all if you were paying attention...and UFC gets way more viewers on their fighters having a show than all the shows canceled combined......and 2k viewers is nothing compared to the 200k+ mlgs don't talk if you don't know what you are talking about #nerd | ||

If they somehow cancel that/don't allow it to go back on for free or whatever I'll have to find some way to make a vocal protest. | ||

Correct me if I am wrong, but SotG began airing prior to any sort of affiliation with MLG, and, as a result, they would have no ethical right to cancel it. Again, I could be wrong on that point. Regardless of whether or not that point is accurate, SotG generates numbers that few other pieces of Starcraft media can match. Cancelling it would be a HUGE mistake. | ||

Are you mentally ill? you have to pay people to work if they were to pay 3-5 employees minimum wage to produce the show they would be not making any money User was warned for this post | ||

None of the other regulars have the time to make the show notes every week. Without JP, there is no show, and even if someone else fills that role, viewer numbers go way down. There are few prominent community figures that have the position where they can host that show regularly. | ||

I remember when JP had to put the show on hold for a couple weeks recently because he was really busy with events and MLG business, he stated (I think on TL) that they do the show because they love doing it, and they don't get money out of it. If they end up shutting down SotG as well, I won't be happy  . During school in particular, being able to listen to State of the Game on Tuesday nights is really fun and relaxing. I'd hate to see it go. | ||

Why would JP be out o.o SotG didn't always affiliate with MLG and JP still ran it back then | ||

I gotta say though that I am puzzled by the decision. It's not like either of those shows cost a ton to produce. All you need is a webcam and (I guess) the hosts. Honestly you don't even need the crappy little studio of F Slasher, the show would've worked just as a good as a podcast. I guess MLG learned that there was no point in paying hosts when they would probably produce the content for free anyway. | ||

If EG or TL picked up the show, MLG would not let him host it. Not as a malicious act. I'm sure the everyone at EG and TL are very friendly with everyone at MLG, but it's business. An MLG employee can't host an EG or TL show. | ||

Dont get me wrong, FS and SC were great, but they were not as apealing as something like Sotg, where a huge part of the community is just waiting for tuesdays just to watch it. They cancel them both because they will probably try to create a more solid show. There is a lot of content (news, games, etc) generated on a daily basis so they just have to get the right formula to squeze al the juice out of it. Hopefully we will get something great. Pd: I never liked slasher =/ | ||

I'd hate to see it go.This was true originally, but now the hosts get paid by MLG. Which, I suppose, is kinda the reason why they stopped in the first place, because it was affecting their "real" jobs. Even if MLG drops SotG, EG has bidded against MLG for SotG in the past. They might do so again. Inside the Game is different enough from SotG that it would work, and SotG still has a much larger following. | ||
