This is a general comment, while players are beings with will and can/should make their own decisions, this is not really as easy, because we are humans, and something like "fear of the famous" or the fact it's public information instead of private decision exists, and even if someone doesn't...
Maybe if everyone wasn't claiming all the time and the whole environment was not permeated by "it's all for the community," "we love this game" trying to milk money off naïve people there wouldn't be people thinking players and streamers, and the big earners especially, should, well, put...
There is a bit of an uptick for a few months for some reason (might be gamescom DLC announcement and 50% discount, so buying ahead and staying), but now it was the DLC (last one (free) with Anniversary Edition interestingly had basically no effect, but now there are new campaigns as opposed to...
Because StarCraft eSports has reach and overreach and if you invest into it, you'll get way more eyes than just the viewers on stream, everybody knows what it is, it's "cool" to be involved, AoE has nothing like that, if there's a tournament, no one knows about it besides us, it's just a fun...
Problem is there is a very tilted distribution here, so if you add more money, maybe like 10% (simply some small amount) goes to the "new" people who could benefit, while vast, vast majority will end up with the known firms where it does nothing besides them living better (typically no matter...
Ah yes, because people who are monetarily invested and fully dependent on money being pumped into the game so they can get their share are the objective source of information you should believe have absolutely no ulterior motives and only speak the truth and nothing but truth, so help them God...
Tbh I wouldn't be so sure at all what's going to happen there, he and T90 are practically one brand and thing and type of content (also quality-wise), if people considered him T90-look-alike (stream-wise) and fill-in (which doesn't mean some didn't come to like him better), he could very easily...
Yeah the regional pricing of the subs has moved a few things, remember a case of an AoEIV streamer who was thrilled he got some 100 or something gifted subs, and then when he went to check it out, the numbers didn't add up, so he even contacted support, later learning the subs were from...
Memb will probably keep somewhat his paying viewers, he'll drop in viewers for sure as everybody (as they have gained, they will lose, the two brands are too strong and people have shown they will treat it as if nothing happened), but he is imo covered by his fans, he has devoted viewerbase, he...
Yeah it's not looking good, not sure what happened with the new ownership, but looks like milking farm. Always have to be amazed at the shortsightedness and sacrificing long-term bigger profits for the smaller faster ones (or they already expected the web's death and are just here to milk it to...
While PkZ deserves many thanks for all the years and effort with this place, the ending of it all then... Well that's just awful. Considering he was somewhat upfront about wanting to end his affiliation, not posting anything in the end and just throwing it away basically is... strange. Reminds...
Problem is that many "toxic" (it doesn't matter if it really is or isn't and it's just uncomfortable reality people have learnt to try and cancel and therefore label as such) posts have been met with quite vicious, nasty "positivity" (often just plain, empty fanboyism with no grounds in reality...
Thanks for all you did truly for the community, sorry to hear that and hope it gets better and you'll be able/wanting to do more again of what you enjoy.
Thanks for sharing IYIyTh.
While any worries like that are legit in any area with any software, bringing this up as a counterargument when there are already years of history using Voobly and we're talking about a megacorporation who basically has access to everything on your computer (and vehemently uses that information...
Again, I'm saying this for the longest time, but barely anyone wants to listen (I do believe decent amount of people, for example in this thread, though realise it, just not willing to air it publicly too much, because then you're a spoilsport and toxic negativist), because the truth is simply...
This is just a general comment on this perception, not like specifically against you, but what limited resources? Thanks to practically mostly AoEII they have made a whole new gaming studio, a completely new game, Forgotten Empires have gone from a group of like 5 modders to a company with 70...
Congrats to the successful players ( @Ator on the defence) and thanks to all for participating, and thanks @Huehuecoyotl22, @DaisyChain and Elhyar for hosting, others from the community for co-sponsoring - was a good tournament again!
Some memorable games:
FreakinAndy...
Regarding obvious visa issues (which has already kind of been talked about the announcement being late even before it came) kind of bold to call it "best players in the world" (unless they happen to be European) :) The prize pool... Well, it's already been mentioned, but again, I wonder why...
