but he WAS paid to promote KoA when it launched (had a whole front page in twitch and everything), so to assume he was paid (or just been requested) to say what he said on twitter is not that far out of reach.

Just fyi he did stream their game for like a long time and handed out prizes that came from 38 studios. So the seed is already there.
Was he paid?
I mean, he said he wasn't and that the devs contacted him after it was planned and offered up prizes and stuff, he even said he wasn't getting paid by them for it at one point, and i've never seen any evidence to the contrary.. I can kind of understand the speculation about that I guess (some people are cynical) but a tweet? Come on.
All people who streamed Kingdom's of Amaluar got a bonus on the ads they ran, or something to that extent. So yes, he did get paid to stream the game.
edit: OF COURSE he was paid. How the hell else could he get Felicia Day to come over, and talk to the devs about it? Come on.

I need to see his tax return as proof.
Where did you hear that? Legitimately curious.
He had plans to do it all before he had any contact with the devs, and is it really that crazy that some devs would see this as good advertising and agree to have interviews and give prizes?

Common sense ?
Were talking about Kingdom's of Amaluar here not D3 or some sort of a household, groundbreaking game from a veteran studio like Valve or Blizzard.
Why would he spontaneously decide to stream that game on launch day (and be featured with special game promoting banners on twitch's front page) while having Felicia Day ? because EA/38 paid for it.
It'll be above open season level of play because we won't have those shitty tiny maps anymore and modern build orders are plainly available for KeSPA players to study.
It'll look like modern mid-tier foreigner pro play.
If I didn't get so engrossed in watching I would totally cast for you guys.
I think this is a big issue for people who stream like spooky.
He did the same sort of thing for amnesia, did they pay him too?

I was definitely confused trying to figure out who and how Day[9] got a $75 million loan. Then I realized you were talking about 38 Studios and their Rhode Island deal. I heard RI may be in the hole $200 million if they go under.
no he didnt.

Yeah, I forgot he had the voice actors for amnesia sitting beside him and narrating the playthrough to the stream while having banners and promotional material for the game that looked like it came out of a publisher's PR/Marketing department blasted all over his channel.
True, but it's still an example of day9 deciding to stream himself playing a game just because, he got some people to join in with him that time, and the devs caught on and were supportive, doesn't mean he got paid.
im starting to wonder if day9's paying you.
Haha
I don't know why we're still talking about this anyways, I thought corran was just jokingCorran Horn

Deathadder. Was like 40 dollars. First time ive used a 'gaming' mouse lulz.
Awesome, I got the same one a while back, was my first 'gaming' mouse too
Not sure how much difference it makes or whether it's worth it really, still, feels a lot nicer than the crappy one I used before.
Mid way through game 2 I assumed it was over.

I've mainly been playing with folks on another forum, GAF is too big to just give out the info imo. But I'm down to hang with SC2 GAF in game

Something bore something something
striek, who are you on sea. -_-
True dat, although that game his macro really did drop off and was worse than usual, it seems like he really got thrown off at some point, he was up to 1000 minerals and was supply blocked :/ and then he misclicked and got his stalkers killed.. I dunno what happened but I hope it doesn't happen again.

Queens kinda good ;;
Pretty much
Only non-korean left in the winners bracket is Stephano now, maybe I spoke too soon, hopefully we'll see some more good games out of Huk, Thorzain, Ret and Grubby tomorrow though anyway.
UNBELIEVABLE win by Polt in game 3. Just crazy, that game was on a knives edge for like 5 straight minutes.
I kept thinking DRG needed to use the corrupters to ignore the 2 vikings and start killing medivacs, but so damn close the whole way. Polt did win the game with the huge max vs max fight in the centre of the map, brilliant tactical win.

It'd be more accurate to say DRG is a joke because he should have won both games.
Still inaccurate, but more accurate.Corran Horn
