Not a fan of the site by a long shot, but I'll reserve my true feelings on the matter for now | ||

Plus youtube will launch it's streaming service soon, which will be more than enough competition for twitch. Other than that, well twitch was superior in every way, except for cpm, which own3ds was apparently too good to be true anyways. Sucks for the people who were able to work in esports thanks to own3d and everyone who won't get paid. | ||

MLG has had a monopoly on competitive halo forever now and they still improved their product all the time (halo being dropped was due to reach being a terrible game, had nothing to do with no competition). Just because we live in a fucked up capitalstic system doesn't mean everything is always better if it follows that principle.

That's an allegation that is completely uncalled for. | ||

If anyone who has more knowledge about how these types of businesses/sites work could give some info, it'd be appreciated. Payroll and hardware. I'd bet a lot that they spent money like they were expecting a high level of growth and that just didn't happen. With disappointing revenue, they found themselves overextended and running out of runway, which is why their last straw was to try to sell the company. For payroll, note that streamers like Destiny are not employees of the company but contractors. So payroll means the developers and other staff at Own3d. | ||

Not sure if that was Own3d or just my computer though... It seems to be a generally Canadian thing. I always see us being unhappy with Owen3d. | ||
