Agreed. But in general, the whole crowdfunding trend relies on people willing to donate money to people/causes they believe in and support. If people want to spend their money on this, who are we to judge.
As already mentioned, Take´s not gonna live there.
Also, crowdfunding is a totally legitimate way of financing a project, especially in such a community-driven environment as e-sports. Nobody´s forced to donate anything. Relying on/benefitting from generosity is neither "gross" nor questionable.
And I don't hate on people who are donating anything. I simply state that I too feel uncomfortable with the whole notion of crowdfunding at this scale. But people can throw money after whatever they want, that's none of my business and ultimately I don't care what people do with their money.

What do you think if highest perk is 10k and donations goes >30k? announcement about additional perks afterward is not really nice and more unexpected effort.

The reason why I am weary of crowdfunding is due to the poor track record of crowdfunding in eSports. But I admire Take and hope he succeeds

Well, for me "Pimp the House" is basically no crowdfunding. They wouldn't drill holes in floors if it wasn't funded yet! It is more a crowdsupporting or crowdrecoupering! And imho that is a big difference!
I really really like that and I wish you best of luck, that this will work. It seems to be really huge. I am a bit worried about the safety of this new place since there will be stuff worth of xxxxxx Euro. What are your thoughts about that @Take?

SC2 is the best. Give Dennis 100grand is an entirely different story. =/
I just wanted to bump this thread to let you guys know that this project is not dead or anything, but still going on. There are some video updates on his YouTube channel(https://www.youtube.com/user/TaKeTVTaKeSeN) that show that TakeTV is facing some problems on the legal side of things.
For a general status on the project see this video:
They are writing english subtitles for these, so just turn them on!
