Firstly, a 10 yr non competition clause would never be able to be executed. Its kind of a joke really. 2 years is hard enough to enforce. Non comp, is standard but usually only is enforced if you steal someones clients. Preventing someone from building a game house? Did you invent the gaming house mentality? Brb, sending the Koreans to sue you for stealing their ideas.. Please note I am being sarcastic. The contract is a typical eastern european contract (no racism emplied). Its a power culture, and the contract is there to show power. Its normal, hell I do business there and I would probably have a contract similar (not so gross) that shows my power over the project. The problem that MoW has failed to see is that they are not catering to polish people, but rather the world is seeing them. I know it doesn't sound exactly right, but their contracts should be written under US law. In an American way. Why? Because the majority of the viewers and players will be able to abide by that and will understand it better and won't take it as threatening. Cultural mistake there. The cost of staying there + the streaming income. Another big joke. IF you are going to take income from someone you don't charge them margin on the cost to live there imo. Because your money is made from the fact they are streaming for you. 3-5 hours is do-able, but it doesn't achieve what the house was hyping itself up to be. So pick a side. Where are you going to make the money? From the stream? Or from the house? Double dipping something like that is kinda lame. I understand some people might be staying for free, so streaming income is probably the best option. The cost of things in poland already show you will turn a profit from the project regardless over time. The other issue is, is it going to become a giant frat house with that much streaming going on? Correct answer, yes. Taking 5 hours out of a practice schedule in a day is one of the most insanely terrible things to do to someone who is trying to get better by gaming. Seriously, streaming saps energy (I stream to 20 viewers and by the end of it [3hours] I am always exhausted). So again, you have to pick a side, do you want to be a giant frat house that makes kids think everyone is a super star, or do you want people to become superstars by winning touranments? From what I see, a whole bunch of stuff was really not planned or thought about before launching. Possibly the rush to make money was there I'm not sure. But a complete revamp of the model needs to occur immediately now, incase someone is fooled into thinking they will actually get better in a streaming environment. | ||

It concerns me cause some people are saying things like "yeah, it's Poland". And this is not only not fair but also disrespectful, regardless if the issue was really a MoW's fault or not. Also - as i said - people went too much drama, so i try to show them real voices of the other side. Why do i have to tell that again? I would gladly give this a rest and read some posts, that were written after reading and checking my arguments. Not posts clinging to the idea of me being some kind of hidden creature awaken after three year sleep by MoW shamans. Seriously - stop that and answer to by arguments. so, what makes your voice the "real voice" of MoW? Their official statement doesn't even say anything, AT ALL, and yet you, who doesn't know anyone from MoW..etc. suddenly jumps out from nowhere claiming to be the REAL voice. Dude, gimme a break. If you want some REAL voice, read what FXOBoss said. Now, that's a REAL voice, and a brutally neutral/honest one. | ||

If you want some REAL voice, read what FXOBoss said. Now, that's a REAL voice, and a brutally neutral/honest one. Man, at least read and understand what im saying. Where have i said i am the real voice? I QUOTED people who are real voices. All their posts (a player who lived there, and what it seems to be an official MoW account here), without cutting, shortening or anything. I also gave you completely neutral info about prices in Warsaw, since for some dude me being Polish wasn't enough to know. My only thoughts were: 1. People do too much drama about a thing that should be left about business parties (player and MoW) 2. People should think more instead and listen to both sides 3. People should understand that perhaps some things are not as stated in 1st post. 4. 600e for MoW is IMO a good deal. I can't make it really easier to understand man. Seriously. | ||

Given the posts by LgNkarmy and Snute who have both lived at the MoW house, it seems that - while what you say may be true - such a revamp is already underway, that MoW are learning from their mistakes and that they in fact are not malicious in their intent. Did you read these posts? I ask because I fear that your post (given your status in the community) may add significantly to a bonfire of hate based purely on hearsay from one evicted player and possibly lead to an undue mailbombing of sponsors, as already instigated by several trolls/overly aggressive posters in this thread. | ||

Yeah, it`s relieving to certainly show your true identity after all this years of posting and creating a legitimate appearance on TL with the whole purpose of acting on a sure to come shitstorm for mow, eh? It's kinda similar for this account, as me and my colleagues pump it up in order to sell it to a foreign team, which name i cannot disclose, for a quite a sum. It's a neat business model i'd say and SINCE i see great possibilities in you, you may wanna PM me to see if you can do some work for our... organisation. i can recommend my employees by saying we had a lot of satisfied customers that used our accounts in the Destiny incident, to defend blizz patch notes, saviors betting incident and many more. we need YOU, dont hesitate, $$$ is hwaiting!!! €: my pride gets ahead of me but: i actually contributed an account that EG uses to muck up the haters when Geoff is afraid to do it on his own acc. Cool eh? | ||

I know, I know, you obviously are a Destiny fan, and you feel that he hasn't been fairly treated by the community et al. I am sorry, but that isn't even the case here. This is an open discussion, not a witch hunt which some of you are making it out to be. There's no pblm calling out the shady businesses at all. TBH, I welcome the idea. Both parties can bring their sides of the story to the table, and let people be the judge. This case, as it seems thus far,doesn't even remotely resemble a witch hunt. | ||

8 years of not posting at all, then all of a sudden, some drama that doesn't even remotely convern you, you just hop in and defend a random side for no reason.
