It's astonishing players don't demand checks at the venue now or raise this issue much earlier. Two months is an appropriate time to make a firm demand that they pay you and send you the check number and a mailing confirmation code. Three months is appropriate to get very aggressive in tone, possibly shouting. Six months is time for a letter from a lawyer because they're not paying. If you weren't aware, this is exactly how credit card companies and vendors will treat you if you don't pay them. | ||

In some of those countries, there are laws that say that when you buy over a company, you also take over their debts? Canada is not the only country in the world. I suggest you leave the PC more often or stay in school. Thank you for your input. Except you clearly don't know what the current situation so how about reading before insulting someone? Blizzard never bought the company. | ||

This is just my opinion but I don't think anyone is going to get paid, honestly. If a company goes bankrupt you think the shareholders get their money back. Hell no. If IPL were to sell its assets, it's the loaners who get their money back first, if any (bank loans). Everyone else is left for dead. It's unfortunate it had to happen like this but this stuff happens all the time. It's been since 2012, the money's long gone. | ||

kidding aside, when Ziff-Davis bought IGN.com they made vague statements about what they were doing with IPL, but didn't bring up the 10s of thousands still owed to these players  i guess they forgot, how convenient. | ||

why would you play nice with people that are dragging their feet, rip out the carpet from underneath their feet with viral public pressure | ||

IIRC most of these payment takes a long time. | ||

If they'd do this a week or month after the event, they'd simply be told "you'll get it soon!" and that'd be that. I really do wish that players would be more aggressive in getting their money, though. They have earned it, and to me, this is akin to getting no pay from your boss. It's completely and utterly unacceptable, and anyone who does that should be publicly shamed and warned of. | ||

It's completely and utterly unacceptable, and anyone who does that should be publicly shamed and warned of. They could at least tweet it. It's not like a simple "haven't got my prize money from IPL yet. They say it'll be coming soon..." every time they check up wouldn't get attention from the fans they have. It's not about nagging or being miserly, it's just standard business to keep people in check. I don't tweet, but I'm guessing if people have time to say stuff like "haha gogogogo MC" or w/e they also have time to tweet about important updates. | ||

Really difficult. I'm currently in the process of arbitration against a new car dealer, and it is a difficult and stressful process. Much easier to believe someone over the phone/email who tells you "yeah, the money will be sent soon" then to get into it with them. Nothing is ever black and white, people try to muddy the waters to hide the truth, and it's hard work trying to make them clean. | ||

But as usual, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, such as Scarlett getting paid after bugging David Ting about it from the OP. DRG and Leenock never say anything and they don't get paid. I'm shocked they haven't gone to their team managers or ESF to help them. | ||

and it may include events other than just IPL5. this is unsubstantiated, but does not help with IGN's or David Ting's credibility. | ||

People like scarlett got paid ahead of leenock, though she had to work for that money by pestering david ting on twitter a bunch. | ||
