Agree with your overall statement. I think going to school is the best option. You've had the BW/SCII experience and that was good in itself. Best of luck!

This is by far the saddest thread I've seen on TL. Good luck IdrA

Well, if he never liked the game it only makes sense. I don't think you should go or continue into such a hard and unpromising career if you are not really, really passionate about what you are doing.

Good luck to you Greg. I never supported you, but I do wish you all the best.

I don't get it...
If he never liked the game, why play it on the first place?

Well...

What are you studying? I remember you mention Gould's evolutionary biology work on an episode of Unburrowed. Biology perhaps? Some sort of science?

Greg I still love you. I think you gave me one of the last EG.IdrA signatures. It will be pass down to my son as a family treasure. I hope you let us know where you go to school so we could bother you, good luck!

didn't he mention that he was going to study physics originally. I think it would fit him very well, so many deterministic systems to study, very little room for coinflips!

So basically, what you saying, Idra, is that streaming SC2 as a non-pro-player, is not paying your fees. That's not really surprising. But shouldn't playing a game be about fun? So the explanation why you are quitting SC2 should be, because you don't have a *good time* anymore, not because you are not getting enough paid as a non-pro-gamer...
Games are about fun... people tend to forget this sometimes.

Still, thanks for all the entertainment in all the years since like 2007 Broodwar, and Good Bye, streamer!

Also carriers are a nice skill toi have.

You and Day9 got me into this game when SC2 started up. Sorry to see you leave, for now. :')

Best!

Playing video games can be a job, which is what it clearly was for Idra. Idra's situation is really no different than any other person who works/worked a good paying job that they really didn't like - they simply did it because it paid well. Idra played SC2 because it paid well, not because it was fun - and now that it doesn't pay well, he's moving on.
