Own3d should have cancelled his contract like most of his other sponsors at the same time he got booted out of SC2. Should have stayed with the proven, reliable Twitch. /facepalm Some people should stay away anything that allows them to communicate their thoughts to other persons. | ||

I am forced to make a very hard call and have decided to move back to the east coast to get my old job back because I haven't been able to find work and with no financel support from my streaming I am out of time. I literally had to make this very hard decision yesterday and now will be leaving on Monday for a good 2000+ mile drive......... So I will be gone from streaming for who knows how long until I get settled again. (Sorry viewers, but I'll be back soon for those who watch) I just can't seem to understand the issue with own3d.tv.... It is a 50/50 shares so 50% of what you make revenue wise goes to them so they shouldn't have any money issues? It did cause me a huge mess in RL.... I just wish that if Own3d.tv was having issues they would just come straight out and say it! Then I could of prepared for the worse a long time ago. | ||

edit: yes, I know this isn't going to happen.  I just wish someone WOULD actually stand up to them and sue for once. A lot of gamers are young kids who are just being taken advantage of by companies and sponsors. | ||

Of course, without seeing the contract and the rest of the information needed, I can only go with the presumption and cannot be 100% certain. What strikes me the as the most surprising fact of all of this is just how problematic Own3d seems to be and how little I have heard about it. Esports as a whole does seem to have issues (and drama) when it comes to contracts and finances. But reading through many comments where people speak of their own problems with Own3d, I just find it hard to believe that more of these sort of threads have not come out. This sort of situation (as well as other situations) really does make me sad because it ultimately hurts and hinders the growth of Esports. How is Esports expected to be taken seriously when we have companies that are suppose to be there for their employees/contractors and end up acting in such an unprofessional manner. | ||

It's still a big problem, but not as big as the pitchfork crowd is saying. 'The last paycheck I received from own3d was marked for July. I don’t believe I will ever be paid for the last 5 months I streamed with them. I’m trying to keep this as formal and non-sensationalist as possible, but it’s hard to imagine the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I get from even typing that out.' | ||

My payments are backed up 6 months now and lets just say I am missing X amount in K's. I originally was living on the east coast until I had some family related issues and decided to move to the west coast. With no job, I made streaming my primary platform as income until I could find work. My credit cards are backed up a lot right now and still awaiting payment from own3d.tv. I have been rather stressed out (I'm sure people who have bills understand). Thank god I have good credit and am able to hold a lot or I would have gone bankrupt by now.

I don't think they seem to understand what kind of hell they're actually putting some of us through. | ||

I'd imagine streaming sites would be a bit more complicated as there'd be some calculations on exactly how much you earn, but here I'm thinking 1 or 2 months max. | ||

If everyone is aware of this, why doesn't everyone just switch to twitch.tv, or any other sites for streams and boycott own3d all together?? User was warned for this post | ||

If you sign a contract, and you do the work, then you need to pay the person. It doesn't matter how much of a D bag someone is. Your logic makes absolutely no sense and should get a warning for a dumb post like that. | ||

Doesn't matter if he's a fucking dbag or the biggest scum alive, a contract's a contract. For the longest time, Destiny was the face of own3d and for them to shaft them like this is pretty pathetic. | ||

While he might be the biggest douchebag, he still has worked for the money that Own3d has promised. To me it seems like Own3d is financially in a really bad shape. More and more players are coming out with the exact same problem with Own3d, people who are with Own3d right now are moving to another platforms (mostly Twitch) etc. | ||

He's bringing attention to this issue and putting it out into the open but you're going to go and call him a douchebag when he hasn't gotten the money he's earned and he's supporting a child? Get the fuck out of here. | ||
