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 :)
 
"All the howling and all the rubbish and all your really badly thought-out ideas and knee-jerk reactions don't work on us, because as soon as you have a         knee-jerk reaction, we're going to sit down, analyse it, take it apart and we've got a team of smart guys who will work out a way to turn this back around to go, look, you didn't think this out well, did you?"


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 :D
 
A rather drawn out piece.
Essentially consenting to PVP is the issue.

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. :D

Another gem:
"Will Frontier come down on us hard because we've killed a charity streamer, whether we knew or not?"

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.

... we're going to sit down, analyse it, take it apart and we've got a team of smart guys who will work out a way ...

[rolleyes]

There are literally tens of thousands of good PvP'ers that don't stream or make any money :p 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 ;)

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 :p
 
Yes extremely poor taste.

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.

Edit -

"We've been called terrorists and worse than ISIS," Alberts says. "It's just a mockery of that. Music is music. Just because it sounds Arabic doesn't mean it's ISIS music. ISIS do not represent Islam. You know they burn musical instruments? ISIS doesn't have music.

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..
