probably be when everyone that was using own3D start switching to twitch.tv and when everyone switches to twitch, twitch wont be able to afford to pay everyone and they would go bankrupt but then again, the slight upside is that viewers can pay for subscription to support... i dont know haha hopefully twitch wont happen the same way | ||

Maybe they tried their best to stay honest and just didn't make it, but I don't think so. edit: Oh well it sucks for those people still waiting for money from owned. | ||

Not surprising after the thread about streamers not being paid, but still, pretty sad. | ||

Still they must get sued and have to pay all the money they own people. And it's not a small sum of money! | ||

I hope that azubu will bring healthy competition, having only one streaming service for gamers is not a good thing. Competition is good. | ||

Edit: Our anonymous sources close to the situation told us that it was "absolutely true" that Own3d TV would be closing in the next week or so and that they cannot pay the debts they owe and if they liquidate and if advertisers don't pay their streamer contracts that clears them of obligation to pay streamer revenue. Basically I hope the advertisers pay and Own3d will be forced to obligate their contract. I have no real sympathy for them, or at least pay out all there capital, even if its only 10% of what they owe each individual they should be obligated to do it. | ||

It seems that this is part of the scene's bubble popping just a little bit. Also that's not it at all. The scene is growing, which is why Twitch has turned into such a powerhouse that Own3d can't keep up anymore. | ||
