Great New Article About Elite Dangerous

Have to applaud EG for presenting it as fair as possible.
Indeed - the resulting SDC station flip, the snip-snip of yelping puppies, and tasty Salty Dogmaa Oysters would have been worth a mention.
I'm glad SDC got their name in lights. Hopefully it'll tempt them into doing something else lulzworthy

Good article.
From the games perspective this whole episode seems nothing but positive.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Yeah, it was a good read. It's interesting to see how it's interpreted from 'outside' anyway.
Good to hear the other side.
But ... .... LOL.

yep shame no mention of the fact their npc faction which they claim not to care about, but presumably they asked to have it put into the game, are now bankrupt and single digits influence
Uhm. Good PvPers play league of legends or dota, stream with 10-20k spectators and make around 500k-2 million $ / year.
I see no issue with that.
I wish there was anything like that when I was young. Or maybe not.
Another gem:
If you don't know wheter you streamsnipe a (or 3) charity streamers, you don't put a "streamsniping 3 charity streamers" video and related post up.
Duuuuuh.
[rolleyes]

There are literally tens of thousands of good PvP'ers that don't stream or make any money
the skillset of a PvPer actually has nothing in common with that of a successful streamer, they just happen to meet in the same people on occasion There are literally tens of thousands of good PvP'ers that don't stream or make any money
Nope.
There's literally about 1k really good players in LoL of the 3 million playing (ranked per region) and some of them stream and there's a few entertaining streamers or youtubers (the swedish guy who's "the most scared player of all times" with his 40 million subscribers and 8 million income) who're not really good at the game, but .. entertaining.
And there's literally tens of thousands of people who think they're either one of them because they have the same webcam.

thats exactly my point some of them stream, most don't, I play dota all day with the top % you don't find streamers that often. You'd be better off making a point like all the top streamers are either extremely good players or have great presentation skills rather than everyone whose a really good player is a successful streamer
Kind of like players comparing them to ISIS?
That's probably where they got the idea, and decided to run with the absurdity of it.

That was not the point. I Should not have condensed it that much.
a) ED is not really a "PvP focused" game (yes, that's what they want it to be and yes, that's why they're trying to blackmail FD into turning it into something they like .. a toddler holding his breath because he doesn't want to eat his veggies .. pout). If you want to compete exclusively, why even bother? (unless of course you're the navel of the universe .. in that case.. how bout developing and publishing your own game?)
b) If you don't want to compete and just want to cause mischief, stop dragging "PvP" into the dirt.
c) You can have a career and make really good money out of streaming and/or professionally playing games. You just have to be really good at either and the competition is fierce (and has no life ;P ).
d) Really smart guys ... lol

I have to admit I am kinda bored of all the Griefer stuff that's going on atm. The salt miners love the attention, forum trolls thrive on it and it distracts people from enjoying the community and game for zero discernible benefit
Just ignore it all and let them get on with it. Sorry, to be a sourpuss but it's gotten really old..
