dammit, gootecks putting out his future ideas, yet being vague about the reason he left!

Did he ever say who his "fuck yous" were for?

 

[RockTurtle]

Did he ever say who his "fuck yous" were for?

he avoided it and said he's not at liberty to say. ALTHOUGH i have been hearing through the grapevine that Machinima (who came to gootecks+mike to promote CrossCounter) made them sign a contract that gootecks found out when he got in trouble would make his life a living hell.

I have heard of other people/shows having issues with Machinima due to contract issues that are now just popping up.

Sp00ky and Gootecks being continually ambiguous and nondescriptive of their situations make me uneasy and a sad panda. Not that I feel like we're entitled to know. But still, both helped me get into all this FGC shizz and it's pretty sad to see stuff like this happen.

Spooky's is pretty obvious, dude is simply getting tired, physically and mentally, that coupled with TOs only paying for his trip/stay and sometimes actually losing money on events since ads/youtube clicks don't generate enough money to break even and losing money is even worse and not worth it no matter how much you are "doing it for the community" unless you were made of money and can take it.

 

[RockTurtle]

Paying for the FGC....hmmm i dont know.

i mean i love FGC but i dont pay for basketball (which i love). I dont pay for PPV (o wait next day to find out result on the internet).

I might pay if they make it easy and affordable since i know streamers are not multimillion dollar companies like the nba/nfl and they have bills to pay.

so bring on paypal/low fares and i might chip in for premium content to promote the FGC!

I think Spooky will still do the big majors like NEC, Final Round and Season Beatings but I don't see him doing things like Power Up and Civil War anymore. I think he wants to do more streams from Next Level and more house stuff. It was interesting to say that he and Twitch came up with a new payment method for him. My guess it could be a subscription model.

 

[RockTurtle]

oh shit gootecks calling out advertisers

Machinima sounds like a pyramid scheme.

That definitely is demoralizing. I know I couldn't do it unless I was making comfortable money or my joy GREATLY outweighed the money I was losing. The man is a soldier.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Osu 16Bit just got paid for DEVASTATION, which was October 6-9 of last year. At least he got the money, I'm assuming the other players are too.

That's quite a long wait

I am ashamed I chuckled at this.

damn! gootecks finally slowly opening up and dropping some bombs, but i gotta go to class! someone please post a recap of the main points when i come back, cause i dont think this stream gonna be recorded.

The hell? Why did he let it get that bad?

Actually - let me reserve judgement until we get some more info.

Uh wow that sucks.

I don't get it. Is it some contractual thing?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I don't see any reason for him to lie, unless he got hacked or something.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Well there's no point in speculating... let's wait and see what else Max has to say.

 

[Busaiku]

Cause that seems a bit extreme...
How would Machinima have control over his bank or whatnot?

It seems like trolling to me.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

https://twitter.com/#!/maximilian_/status/200290841116418049

Uh wow that sucks.

My first guess is copyright infringement OR filming permit. Marvel is protecting their intellectual properties. I thought he would be protected under parody/amateur filming.

I didn't even know he was with Machinima. I thought he was with VidThru.

 

[Chavelo]

Although I find some of his content a bit cheesy, I feel for Max and hope that he can get back on his feet.

Also, there is some good news coming out of this situation!

https://twitter.com/#!/maximilian_/status/200291149209026562

Good news is Mike aka Wesker is going to be a dad with a baby on the way! But, that offers a new set of challenges.

COMPLETE BABY SATURATION

I'm not sure either, but that's what I heard a few days ago when the Machinima stuff was going down.

 

[kirblar]

Max likely just can't afford his current place right now.

 

[Nabs]

That sucks =\

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Gootecks, this is a bad idea.

The thing that sets fighting games apart is that it's an open field.

 

[Dahbomb]

Man that sucks if true. You really hate to see this sort of thing happen.

omg itz andre vs unknown salty popoff Caught On Film™

God damn that pop off.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I'm not sure either, but that's what I heard a few days ago when the Machinima stuff was going down.

What machinima stuff?

 

[Busaiku]

Seriously, if we didn't have the current format, we wouldn't be seeing guys like Wolfkrone make it big.

What machinima stuff?

According to their contract, if you worked with them, your stuff is owned by them in perpetuity.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Whats he proposing? I can't listen at the moment

Just pure invitational stuff?

 

[jbug617]

yep. Let EVO do the open tournaments.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Yeah, tournaments suck because they take too long, so just push stuff like bar fights and money matches, more two hour events fewer two day events.

WTF? =(

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

hmm.I don't approve of this Gootecks proposed future then.

This ain't boxing.

 

[kirblar]

Gootecks is horribly misguided about the invitational stuff. Might write a big thing on it later.

Not sure how I feel about this, to be honest. I hope it's not a massive price slash. It would really suck if potentially dozens or even hundreds of players who paid full price for registration plus tournament entry fees were barred from watching the finals in the ballroom because of a shit-ton of spectators who only paid, say, half price. At the same time, $50 is pretty steep for essentially one day of attendance, but that at least seems more fair than the alternatives.

Kind of a shitty situation all-around, but as far as problems go, too many people in attendance seems like a good one to have.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Damn. lmfao.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Barfights was a really fun event though. I think there's room for both invitationals and open tournaments.
