I mean, wtf they nominated skyrim and portal 2 for WCG 2012 games, thats just awful. But it's still worrying because WCG is huge and alternatives are between rare and non-existent. If WCG dies or becomes irrelevant (even if it deserves so for doing such stupid decisions), it's bad for the scene. | ||

Earlier today an e-sports industry veteran, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the news and sent us a long piece of correspondence that revealed other things, such as Samsung actually OWNING WCG as opposed to sponsoring it. We publish that also and we're absolutely confident that not only our initial post but also the contents of this letter are accurate. You can read it all here: http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/172103/ | ||

A company would send a letter out to its partners, days in advance of April Fool, filling them with erroneous information that would cost them money and business relationships? I guess that's plausible...)

In fact Samsung have made a point of trying to avoid directly admitting to that for obvious reasons. For the vast majority of e-sports fans Samsung would have been seen as the principle sponsor, not the owners, because that's how Samsung always branded it. In short, having someone confirm that fact is newsworthy, whatever people suspected or "knew". | ||
