I want this to get to the level Starcraft is at, where people come out to play decked out in racing shirts with pictures of Ava Devine and Gianna Michaels on them.

I’m laughing, but I’ll laugh more if this turns out not to be a troll.
Because said porn company won’t make us change the way that we play or enjoy our games.
How many after reading this thread had to hit there usual porn site for a morning session ,redtube just got my fury
I think its primarily about money, sponsorships and drama right now (and was always the case).
The thing is there isn’t enough money for the FGC to support itself the way things are going… especially how some majors profiting very little or not at all (I won’t name them specifically but the information is out there)
lol obvious troll
No.
My point still stands, you have no clue as to what your speaking about if you really believe what you are saying. You are merely parroting the same BS perceptions of everyone who buys into the sensationalist stories about the FGC. Hell, if you were to actually read what is being posted in this thread, you would see that most people are excited not because it’s porn studio, but because it means that the FGC might finally have some kind of lasting financial backing.
We certainly do want Sponsors, of any variety, not just those specifically those in the pornography industry, despite the belief otherwise by those outside of the community. Or are you trying to seriously claim that we don’t want our top players to be able to travel to more tournaments or to have bigger prize pools at our majors?
We also want to be part of MLG, and I guess, the eSport movement by-and-large. However, we want this done in such a way that we can still retain our own tourney scene that we have built over the last two decades. If fact, all evidence suggest, with the recent inclusion of several of our top titles at an MLG event, that we are slowly moving towards this kind of integration.
However, what we do not want is the kind of eSport BS mentality that circulates in communities such as StarCraft. We are, after-all, playing video-games here. The FGC just doesn’t subscribe to same kinda of pretensions that other gaming communities have.
Shit, I’m about to snag a brazzers subscription after all this talk about it lol
Thx for the replies, see where you guys are coming from.
A lot of you seem to be really confident in the fact that brz won’t “harm” your community the same way existing sponsors do. No one can really make that statement right now, wait and see
best of luck
whether one agrees with the particular sponsorship or not, I think we can at least agree that it is a good thing to see the community display a willingness to think for itself. we don’t need big corp telling us what to do and waiving their greedy, hypocritical fingers in our faces. they should be the ones afraid of us and what we think about the direction of the community, not the other way around.
95% of the people who think this is bad are either gays or virgins who don’t really understand the FGC.
ps: i love both gays and virgins,
Dying.
lol
Again with this BS. The fighting game community has never been anti-sponsorship, get your fucking fact straight.
I didn’t know wtf Brazzers is, and immediately hit the back button after googling at work.
man you dudes are cake complaining about this. All the sudden this is a family oriented community? lolz
What about comments like this Perfect_Frames?
I also like breasteses
I can defend my own statements, fuck you very much. Perfect_Frames is his own man, and I am myself.
Anyways, in regards to what I said, sponsors doesn’t affect my pockets, since I’m not part of the 1% that actually gets tournament winnings. The only thing that I don’t like is when sponsorships affect the kind of tournaments that get run, such as the LG Cup bullshit. I mean, who the hell was really looking forward to playing SF4 on a cell phone? The only thing that people were looking forward to was the potential $20,000 payday for winning the whole shebang.
Them and bang bros usually have the finest chicks…so i much approve
I dont think anyone feels that the sponsors are detriments to the community. No one had any complaints when the Toyota Yaris was the headlining sponsor of Evo (2k6? I dont recall). No one feels that the NOS sponsorship is detrimental to the community, nor EG, nor Vapur, nor any other sponsorship. Each of those are contributing to the community. The whole ‘esports’ contrived controversy stems from MLG’s repeated attempts to take away from the community, wanting us to change to fit their model for their benefit at our detriment. Sponsors contribute to our community for mutual benefit. You’ll notice that the issues with MLG lessened recently, because they actually started contributing some with the recent KOF and MK tournaments in their own events, which we all can support. That’s bringing something to the table. When they want to take our headlining tournaments like Evo and turn it into the standard MLG fare with a mild side of fighting games, we’ll politely decline and deal with the whining from MLG about how we can keep our cute little small time tournament.
