I might be interested in contributing to this. Can you give more details on what you are thinking about? Location, ideal budget, tournament size, etc.?
This is a short-sighted view in my opinion. After AoE4's launch, there was still KoTD. There was a T90 hosted tournament with $25k prize pool. There will undoubtedly be another Hidden Cup, the delay of which has more to do with T90's switch to FB than with AoE4. Battle of Africa 3 will happen...
I didn't have an issue contributing both to AoE2 and AoE4. I've been watching and playing more AoE4 recently, but will likely still play AoE2 again at some point. Just because I contribute to AoE4 events and streamers doesn't mean I would donate less to AoE2, which is why it doesn't make sense...
From what I've seen, most top players in AoE2 have stayed with AoE2. Yes, Lierrey recently switched (although he probably would still compete in AoE2 tournaments), Hera left for a completely different game but will still compete in AoE2, and Viper is still playing both AoE2 and AoE4.

My impression is that a substantial number of AoE2 players are actively rooting for AoE4 to fail because that would mean more resources for their preferred game, whether it's more pros streaming AoE2 or more money for tournaments. I find that kind zero-sum thinking to be unappealing and harmful...
I don't really think anyone can forecast what will be best for the overall franchise at this point, so I wouldn't agree that focusing more on AoE4 is the wrong choice. What do you think Microsoft's main key performance indicator is here? My guess would be Game Pass numbers, and AoE4 has shown...
If I was MS, I would see that AoE2 player numbers have largely been static over the past year (despite multiple S-tier tournaments), meanwhile AoE4 has shown fluctuating and declining numbers but high potential given the number of players on release. If my goal is to improve the health of the...
