Simpler version of my point: Oftentimes by trying for "mass appeal" brands result in alienating the customers who put them in a position to "try for mass appeal" to begin with. Resulting in temporarily inflated sales (or viewership), but damaging the brand long term by replacing loyal customers...
I'm a big believer in the idea that you must "support your friends".
In this case, it's clear Nili and Memb aren't friends. Which is too bad -- because Memb has been one of the most stalwart 'friends' of AOE, putting in untold hours when streaming this game wasn't lucrative. He is, quite...
Honestly, I thought this was one of the most enjoyable tournaments to watch in a really long time. Not even sure there's much I'd change. It was great.
I mean, Daut nailed it. Nili made a shrewd (he thought) decision to allocate a huge amount of Microsoft prize money, to *his* tournament, which he pivoted to AOE4 (along with his channel) because he thought that's where the money (viewership) would be in the future. It predictably, blew up in...
Great tournament. Vinch would have had a chance if he hadn't completely blown Incas - Lith game. He was in a winning position, but tried to do too much, and couldn't keep up with Viper. Lost his monks, lost the game. Didn't have the skirms ready fast enough, think he thought the game was over...
Vinch had a very good strategy prepared for Lierrey. You have to give him credit. He had Lierrey reacting to him every game, and even came back from losing three vills to two militia in one game, with a sick two archer blind side counter attack. You could tell Lierrey was uncomfortable in almost...
T90 is a millionaire thanks to his Facebook deal, so I doubt he gives a flying **** about how many viewers he has. He can kick back, relax, cast when he feels like it, and live the good life. On the bright side: Memb gets to finally make some money and benefit from his own tournament, so that's...
Chinese streaming community is toxic AF. Sad that an iconic player is getting run out of the game because of a bunch of psychotic "fans". Vivi could probably stream on Twitch, speak broken English, while chainsmoking bootleg marlboros and make more money than he makes streaming for his current...
AOE4 is ass. I hate watching it. I'm glad the streamers are getting big viewer numbers, but if they think those people are going to stick around, they aren't. The game simply is nowhere near ready for competitive play, and most likely never will be. I haven't bothered watching any streamers...
Grinding for a paycheck in front of a dead audience with a low viewer count. You take the paycheck because you fear your days are numbered, but all you've done is create a self fulfilling prophecy. I hope these guys have fun getting paid for a year or two while they, and the game that made them...
I mean, let's be real here - this is awful for the game, as a whole. He was the most watched, most popular English speaking AOE2 streamer on the internet. He will not be as popular on Facebook Gaming, and it will fragment his community, which historically trickled down to the rest of the AOE2...
She did an awful job. Zero game knowledge, feel bad that she was even hired. Makes zero sense. Whatever professionalism she brought to the table was outweighed by her complete and utter lack of knowledge with regard to the players, the game, etc. Pretty much any one of us here could have done a...
