Rip Geoff. You realize a company can have respect and even admire what someone has done for the community while at the same time acknowledging that they may not be a good fit for their brand. Also, are you implying the reason zotac cup vods werent released is to appease to China? Are we full on conspiracy now?
I see you've been living under a rock. No conversation to be had here with ignorant people.

Rip Geoff. Only because Geoff appreciated a good forum clapback... Just a fair warning that elluel is the same species as Adolf Hitler, the guy who killed and tortured millions of innocent people. Take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. RIP Geoff <3 Thanks Blizz for this memorial.
hey man im a complete stranger on the internets but want to say that some of my happiest memories were listening to you and incontrol banter back and forth on state of the game. thanks for brightening up lots of people's days!

I have been living under a rock, although in that time TL browsing has been my chief way of spending the time.
First I’m hearing of a link to recent controversies and Zotac VoDs not being released though.

I think this is a great move to commemorate one of the most beloved, respected, and obsessed StarCraft players of all time

Ok, but why not TotalBiscuit as well? I don't understand explanation.
The TotalBiscuit thing was sold in a limited amount, and money forwarded to the Bain family.

Great gesture to respect his memory. Bravo blizzard! We all miss you Geoff

RIP Geoff

Still feels like a bad twitch joke as every time people spam RIP there for every streamer.
It took me a while to realise that it is true.
He always felt that type of character on a show that if it got removed the audience would riot, shame we can't protest like that on his case :/

TB had a family and a child; it needed (needs) to be monetized to support them. I'm not trying to be callous but Geoff did not have any children and was separated from his wife. I think the fraction of kickbacks supersedes what is meant by this gesture.
You also don't know if Blizzard/Activision made a payout via NDA to make this kind of move. I'm sure there was no money on their side to be made by it - if anything his "estate" received money.
I agree with their decision to immortalize him in the game. Also TB, while a great shoutcaster, did not devote as much time to this game as Geoff did. Geoff was a progamer since 07 and devoted much of his life to the game. I'm not going to get into pissing matches but you can look up the difference.

TB's family was in need of financial support.
