I doubt these shows cost very much to run, and if they do the money they generate from commercials should allow the shows to pay for themselves. I hope they do not cancel state of the game.

SOTG is too big to die. if MLG cancels the show, I am sure JP (or someone else) will take up the reigns and produce it independently.

Wow that is sad, I liked watching Fuck Slasher and SC Report because it was usual on when not that many people were streaming.

I think part of the reason these shows were cancelled were because destiny and other streamers had consistently more viewers than mlg's shows. Its sad and I hate that this has happened, but part of it is on us for not tuning in.

How much do you think it costs to pay the various people who produce the show? How much do you think they pull in off 1-2k viewers over an hour versus the cost to pay those employees and content producers an hourly wage?

I don't think 1-2k viewers per hour would pay many peoples salaries, if even one persons salary...no?

Sad to see shows go.

This industry seems transitory and I hope MLG's effort will be remembered by future professionals. Personally a show a week would suffice for me.

So was/is MLG paying the hosts of SOTG? It seems like SOTG doesn't really need MLG and only got affiliated with it because JP works there. So I'm not too worried about SOTG being canceled.. shame for these other shows though. Not that they cannot continue on their own and make some money off commercials if they wanted?

well first you have your talent, then your director, then your writers, then your TD's, then your producer, and if you're paying all of them (which i'm going to assume they were, at least partially) costs go up quick, not to mention the equipment they were using etc.

as someone who works in the entertainment industry (not just esports but like MTV, HBO, etc.) the costs to run shows like they were producing daily, can definitely be up there. its a shame, those shows were entertaining and well done, hopefully they find new homes/the hosts can keep doing what they were doing with new groups.

Wow, that's too bad. I've watched Fuck Slasher a couple of times even though it was out of my timezone and enjoyed it quite a lot.

Shit man, why? SC Report and Fuck Slasher are both great. I sure hope this doesn't affect SotG.

This sucks. I've been so impressed by Chobopeon these last months, I hope so see more of him elsewhere.

Not a fan of the ones that got canceled, and I think State of the Game is way too damn popular to get rid of.

You guys seriously watch any of that? Never would have thought a large number of viewers even watched, enough for advertisers to care at least. Just because a few people care doesn't make it viable to keep running for MLG, same stuff happens with Television, not that I watch but it makes sense. Low viewership, no viability, no point. Well Slasher and SC Report at least, I can understand furor over SotG if it were to be, but seriously the others? Who really cares?

It's been such a pleasure seeing Chobopeon amazing talent and dedication pay off, first with JP, then as part of MLG, and i am sure the next thing he will move on to, will be grand

Chobo, if you are reading this: thanks for all the amazing content you provide us all year long, you are the best <3

Well besides F Slasher and SC Report , I'm pretty sure SOTG can fund its self and be worthwhile to produce.
