It's a shame, not because it was a particularly good product (IMO) but because only having one major streaming platform is bad long-term. I hope someone else gets into this game. TBH, I don't really care home many commercials I have to watch provided (1) if I mute the stream, the commercials will also be muted when they come on (you know, like when I watch TV), and (2) the timing of the commercials is controlled by the streamer.

This is all you've got to do, but even Twitch has trouble with it.


Youtube is in the game. It's ridiculously suprising to me not many people are using it yet for live streaming.

When Google starts caring more live stream gaming, Twitch is going to bite the dust.


http://fxoboss.tumblr.com/post/26261398738/fxopen-e-sports-recent-changes

Cause as fxo boss pointed out last year, Youtube live streams don't allow third party sponsorships, so all those fancy overlays with sponsors on them would be banned if streamed on youtube, which defeats the purpose of streaming for teams.

You should also note that Youtube streams have a STRICT policy of not showing third party sponsorships on stream. So our overlays on the video embed will NEVER have anything but FXOpen on them. This is a reason why no other team will want to use them as it doesn’t allow for sponsor exposure.

Glad to see own3d go. My biggest problem with Own3d .... When they had 3 consecutive ads that were the same gdawful ad over and over again, I never understood why they never changed that.
-- Hope as many VoD's get saved as possible, it'd be a crime if all that content went to the void.

Sad, but I guess it's a tough market. Them and Twitch are competing for the same viewers and the same streamers and, in my mind, Twitch has always been the better choice, so I guess this is how it'll go.

GL to all involved and I hope this doesn't trouble you or your lives.

I am a bit surprised. It was expected, that owned will close its doors but that they will announce it ONE day before is very close. Its nearly not possible to save all those VODs, if you have more then just 3 or 4 of them.

Also I have to say the following:

When I read things like "Twitch gettin to popular" or "we need a good competitor for twitch" and "Twitch is going to bite the dust" I have the feeling, that people look down to Twitch as a bad "thing" (now).
Sure, competition is good and I also think there have to be more that one popular streaming company but I think you have to keep in mind, that Twitch once was the alternative for own3d and that it was/is good. (Problems will always be there, like Twitch had in several tournaments, as you maybe noticed).

In the end, e-sports really matters, not streaming software/ company.

Just my 2 cents (:
WCS is like allowing Premier League football teams in the Korean football league... only, the other way around!

Well if a company goes bankrupt, operations usually stop very fast

What should happen? They get only a small percentage if anything at all after the bankruptcy. Happens everyday.

If they go bankrupt they don´t have to.

What about justin/twitch goes to hell to? No moar streaming.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Own3d ripped off a lot of streamers near the end and didn't make the payments, I don't have anything good to say about them or their fraud.

Competition is good but can also be bad. Like how Own3d offered a worse service but was competetive by paying streamers more. It's like the exclusivity shit in consoles. Instead of just making a different product that is better they just restrict content so it doesn't have to be about the service and that just sucks for consumers.

It gets incredible complicated at this point since they might not be able to pay anyone even if they wanted to. When you go bankrupt you also lose power over your own company regarding what choices to be made so it could very well be that someone else is overseeing the bankruptcy process and actually is preventing the owner of giving money to the parties involved since that in itself could affect the bankrupt process in a negative way.

the difference being that those guys can take responsibility.

No they had success while own3d didn't have success. This streaming platforms are all startups. Even twitch still needs venture capital. own3d could not find a partner in time or could not secure the solution by selling the company--> bankrupt. Happens often to startups
