Not sure if you are arguing fair use applies or not?

This is a common misconception. You can't just use something and call fair use because you don't earn money with it. Fair use is more like a "quote right" if you create something new with it, like an analysis. Otherwise you could put any music on YouTube as long as you don't put adds on it. Also...

Or maybe it is because he gave a reason for not wanting to use a cam? But as an admin you can't accept "no I won't follow this rule, I don't say why". It makes the cam optional for everyone from that point on.

I think this got scrapped (rightfully so). What I noticed is Memb asking other people to co-cast while on stream. This feels really akward, even as a viewer. They can't really say no in front of thousands of people unless you come up with an excuse and even then one might feel pressured to say yes.

The guy responsible for the DE version and the money MS puts into AoE2 was somewhat influential, don't you think?

Living in the same country I feel like I can actually give some reasonable opinion. You know the average income of those with a degree and those without? You know how about pretty much every company demands a bachelor or a master if you want to move up? It doesn't have to be related to the work...

Yeah what a twat, a professional streamer giving advise to someone who wants to stream for a living and is obviously stuck in a dream world. Better insult him, right?

Red Bull, other than Microsoft, doesn't want to sell the game but a product not connected. So for them the viewer number (and demographic, but I guess that would be more or less the same) is the most important thing. I'm not too concerned about a new RBW being on AoE4.

Can confirm, I didn't get any matches on tinder, then I wrote that I waste half my weekends watching AoE2 and every swipe was a match. And to be more serious: Usually I'm officially watching Netflix or YouTube which brings the problem to explain why I have to watch it at exactly that time.

I think this shows very well how decisions about actions for rule breaking never should be up to the other player/team. If they actually want the rules enforced they get hate for it. So rules become meaningless since the opponent has to be lenient. That's something I really appreciate about...

He made a business decision. We are not talking about community funded events but real companies giving real money. He took a risk, a completely understandable one at the time and it didn't pay out. This happens, Microsoft sinks millions after millions into projects that get cancelled. Do you...

This thread just has everything... You have people not knowing that money isn't thrown around because players are loyal and companies want to reward that but it's actually an investment and they expect to get even more money out of it. So for Microsoft I think it actually makes sense to give...

Tournaments are marketing for the games. AoE4 is still new and as you said, the numbers don't look great. So it does make sense to give it more money than AoE2, trying to improve those numbers. Only up to a certain point of course, if it's a dead game after 5 years you don't have to keep it on...

So I don't know the law all over the world but as a lawyer I know a thing or two in general. Firstly, Microsoft is a private company, private meaning it is not owned by a government. There are some in-between cases but we won't get into that. And as you already stated, Nili is in Germany, so he...

Well, Zak is working on AoE4 so this is expected, not to say required.
