I take our word very seriously and it saddens me deeply that we did not come through on this within a reasonable time frame. That said, I do want to make sure that those of you pointing to this are doing so with the right information in mind. Out of all the tiers promised 8/10 tiers were delivered on. The remaining tiers are a pizza party, and the cross-game showmatches. With this announcement we've made sure to deliver, or come close to delivering as is realistically possible, on the outstanding tiers as a part of this announcement, and I don't think any of us would have wanted to move forward without doing so. For the pizza party the difficulty is that there are basically no events for StarCraft to do this at nowadays. As a solution we did pizza parties last Sunday in LA and SF, and have decided to add to the concept by hosting an online one and dedicate a pizza party VOD viewing night specifically for StarCraft. For the showmatches cross-game is a difficult concept more fun in word than in practice. The showmatches in the announcement are included to make sure we deliver on this tier with similar but alternative content. I'm confident we can come up with some great ideas for this that will reward both players and fans in the SC scene. | ||

It may have taken a long time but the showmatch with TLO and Incontrol being captains of the other team happened: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-tournaments/430627-pizzagg-liquid-vs-eg-showmatch The music video happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrA7vQQ2c0s AMAs and pizza eating contest happened: http://www.twitch.tv/onemoregametv/b/408715285 I would assume they sent out the 25 shirts, mouspads, giftcards and skins as well. My mistake. I didn't realize the eating contest and music video happened. I remember the showmatch. If everything did indeed happen, I'll drive to Manchvegas again and buy some more pizza. But I'm still waiting on that "if yes." And who got the gift cards? On December 08 2015 10:08 BeStFAN wrote: wow you drove 40 miles for a pizza? amazing! #passion I might even do it again. | ||

IIRC they didnt deliver on a couple things , in the grand scheme its not that huge of a deal , but when you tell people your going to do all these great things , even though your giving them a deal on something , not following through is kinda shitty. | ||

In terms of Pizza places Papas is pretty good IMO , alot better than Pizza Hut / Dominos / Little Ceasars . its a little bit more expensive but they usually have coupons or specials going on . | ||

So what if they don't deliver on their promises? You still get a good deal on pizza. Why would you say no to that? There are two options. Either papa johns doesn't do anything and you have no events, or it tries to do something, and you have maybe a delayed event or no event at all. If at worse its the latter, well fine its as if nothing happened. But regardless, they give you 50% off pizza. How is this a bad thing overall...I just don't understand. I wish I lived in the US to get that tasty discount | ||

I wish I lived in the US to get that tasty discount This " HUGE " discount is something that comes up pretty often if your a part of their member rewards , yeah some people are bitching a little too much , but I mean everyone is entitled to an opinion . What upsets people isnt so much Papa Johns , its the people who they backed with not fulfilling 100% . Either way pizzas are still going to be sold and people will enjoy it , but you cant sit here and tell me if someone did this to you it wouldn't leave a sour taste in your mouth . Anyway Enjoy the pizza boys or don't its up to you . | ||

Only an esports community like this would make that connection. If you live in Kentucky/greater Cincinnati area you'd know they pretty much always have at least 25%, using the coupon 25OFF(this always works), or 50% off coupons basically year round (especially for cardinals/louisville events 45% off beacuse it is a school sponsor).... So... It's more about how many/how much people are enticed to do this for the community (aka buy more pizza because it goes to X). I think the main reason people are upset is because of their money being funneled into this and it being delayed for months and months. | ||
