Lesson learned: Don't do streaming deals with Facebook. Gamers don't use that for streaming, and they will openly rebel if Twitch or Youtube isn't an option.
Though, really, "don't do deals with Facebook" is generally a good idea in general, no matter how tempting its monolithic userbase seems.
ESL committed perjury by filing false DMCA claims. This can include prison time among other penalties. Who ever they have as a lawyer did a piss poor job giving council.
If ESL is who I'm thinking of, their management of talent was pretty terrible at the International this year. Kept them under lock and key, physically dragging them away from their fans so the talent couldn't give autographs.
I guess it's a necessary evil. Good on Valve for reigning them in.
The decision to Stream on Facebook only was the worst ever made. Glad to see Re-Streams are allowed and fuck ESL for that Facebook stunt.. facebooks streams are shit.
When I saw the title of the tab say “There is always someone bigger”, I expected it to be about the Subnautica release. There’s always tomorrow, I guess.
