However, starting from Kappa the dog it gets tasteless, and I could imagine more people see it this way. You don't get a live dog just for jokes. We'll see what the funding says... | ||

They are reasonable people and i dont see why they shouldnt get a dog. | ||

i am sure i will talk in an interview or bigger post more about it but i wanna take the right moment for it. But just in general - I put everything i have once again in the new location. i dont have any savings for my private life and i took a huge loan for it. What we are asking for is actually to lower the risk and in best case even make stuff better. I will keep doing videos and show you, what we do and how we improve. Me and my team put everything into this project. I work crazy hours on this cause its my dream and i can promise you i thought a lot about it before i did and also thought about the cost and how i can finance it. What a lot of people don t realize for a good reason is, that we also do other stuff in the backround like agencywork in eSport and also merchandise plus videoediting for companies in gaming and Productions on big events like Gamescom or other events. eSport is my life but there is a lot more we do to earn money and pay the cost. I will definitly do a bigger interivew or something like this and will also mention some numbers etc.. I always have been very open about it and i would have a very bad feeling if people think i try to abuse or whatever. //Dennis | ||

You say "starting from Kappa the dog", what is so tasteless about Twitch plays Dennis or a Kick-off Event? My personal opinion is that also the following options are also too "kappa"/constructed in relation to the requested money. With the first two options only I might consider contributing, but after reading the last few options I feel fooled. But that's just an opinion and contributers might see it totally different. | ||

Ah, I see. Yes, the milestones are definitely more fun-oriented, and not really to be taken seriously. If I understood it correctly, Take has certain plans for this appartment (<- what is the proper word to use?) and wants to realize them under any circumstances and doesn't want to make them dependant on the funds raised via Kickstarter. That just means the less Kickstarter raises, the bigger the loan becomes he has to take. But yes, these milestones are definitely something else than, for example, Ryan's milestones for Gameheart. | ||

You don't get a live dog just for jokes. We'll see what the funding says... I actually don't mind the dog. I've seen dogs with dumber names than Kappa, and i bet the dog won't have a bad life with loads of pro-gamers around to play with. Who says that the dog has to sleep outside the studio etc, and isn't actually Takes dog? I don't see an issue with that, this dog would have it better than many others. The one issue that irks me as a german, and Take should've known that: Ultra. As a german, i don't want to be called Ultra. Or part of "Ultras". Because in germany, ultras are actually a pretty bad thing (same level as hooligans). Maybe it's because i'm actually a football-fan of my local club, but in general, he should've worded that differently. edit: ha, called it  | ||

I cannot have one myself because I would like to have a certain breed and cannot offer what that breed would take (lots of room, space for running etc) and generally holding a dog in a "smaller flat" would suck for the dog. So I would love to have that goal reached to have a dog at my working space | ||

I don't know man, I don't see why not finding some milestones cool/fun should prevent you from donating since these are not the main objective of the fundraiser. Anyway best of luck to Take with this new project, it's really cool to see TaKeTV becoming an important brand. | ||

That's of course perfectly honorable! But I didn't know that, so that the funding campagne very quickly lost me on that one. Also, it's not just the facts that matter. If you had sex with a girl, you won't earn much admiration if you say "We were going to have sex anyway, but let me pay you 10€ and call you a prostitute for it" -> Sometimes money and inappropriate names spoil it. The only question now is, whether kappa-proponents and funders are the same. We will see | ||

What I mean is that a studio is nice but it needs various ways of making money to pay back whatever you invested, otherwise it's just space not being used... Considering that they already have a succesful eSports streaming "company"(not sure if its an actual company or just them doing it), I think they wouldn't have started this if they weren't confident that it would work. | ||
