shame, great team, great sport, is there nothing the game companies can do to keep these kind of people in the game as they hold the backbone of their entire competitive industry (assuming they actually REALLY care about that) | ||

It just looks like for anything to get funded you just have to have someone with money to burn quite literally but with the econ climate the way it is, everyone will eventually have their downfall which stops any kind of further investment into smaller pursuits such as this shame, great team, great sport, is there nothing the game companies can do to keep these kind of people in the game as they hold the backbone of their entire competitive industry (assuming they actually REALLY care about that) Game companies are in the business to make and sell games. A gaming company shouldn't need to be so deeply involved to the point that they have to finance a competitive scene for the game they made. They should spend that money to make new games and future installments of the successful games. Maybe they should just keep it just in case of bad times? This is the sort of the same boat the owner of STX got himself into when he spent all of their money on other shit the past 5 years or so. He didn't slash costs and have money when the downturn happened. Hanjin survived the downturn. The starcraft team just got unlucky at the end of the day and that once stable sponsor is no more. Maybe the team should seek another sponsor or buyer like any other professional team would do so they can keep going? | ||

Does financing the competitive scene help them to get additional game sales (for current and future games). Does it help with their brand? It is basically another form of marketing for them. | ||
