And I know you all hate him but here’s a call between Asmon and Snutz.
I am just curious as to how they have reached that conclusion. That looks really greedy to me and a way to use players as cashcows, moreso than ever.
What are your thoughts about it ? Keep it civil though. I know that story will be forgotten in like 3 days but I still wanted to hear your inputs on it.
Sad to see whats happening to Blizzard as a company, they used to be the best in the world in my eyes and now i value them less than the garbage i took out earlier today… horrible decision after horrible scummy trash decision…
That’s fine too ! I’m happy to read people thoughts about it, that’s mostly why I created the thread, as for myself it doesn’t impact me anymore too, just another shenanigan to the collection
In the past they were for me too, just after Arena net, nowadays though, I don’t hold any company above the others
Yeah and I’ve yet to see any proof beside maths genius guessing that (1/0.25) X 660k = 2.5 M that Blizzard indeed paid nothing out of the prize pool.
I’ll reserve my jugement for when I see any concrete evidence (and won’t watch the clown you linked, I can accept preach every now and then for raid testing but I won’t go any further)
Could we get a summary of said “drama”. I am not going to reach for my headphones just to listen a Youtuber I see offering little value.
I did read the reddit post at least. So the issue is on the toys money Blizzard decided to keep ? And could we get also source of that other than reddit posts opinion of how much money Blizzard got.
As it rightfully should have been, this was an incredibly scum move from Blizzard and your “lol well told you guys” doesn’t excuse their revolting actions
They stated that 500.000$ provided by Blizzard +25% of sales is going for the price pool. It turns out that it is OVERALL 500k and all of it was financed by the sales of the toys, even tho 25% of the sales turned out to be more than 500k.
For a limited time, every purchase of the Transmorpher Beacon or Lion’s Pride and Horde’s Might Fireworks, 25% of the proceeds will contribute toward the year’s finals LAN event prize pool for the Arena World Championship (AWC) and the Mythic Dungeon International (MDI) with a guaranteed minimum prize pool of $500,000 USD ($250,000 USD for each event.) Your support will help take the WoW esports prize pool to the next level.
You have no idea what my opinion is on this either way. I stated what information was available and that I’m surprised anyone is reacting as if this is new news.
Well then state your opinion in a clear and direct manner, because the way your original post was formulated, it seemed and was heavily implied that you were defending their actions
I don’t have to state anything. I will give my opinion when I want to. You presuming is your problem.
I stand by my statement that I’m surprised that this has come as a shock when it was clearly stated when the toys went on sale. It was also discussed and criticised on the forums and various other places such as reddit, MMO Champion etc.
I’m very cynical when streamers seek to bring up things up that they know will get a certain reaction from their followers when it is not new information or even a new discussion.
