fgc dont give a shit about whether or not stupid hoes think their game is dead because its not drawing in millions of starving asian kids in china
fgc plays games because they're fun and got a community
most popular esports only exist because tencent

>fgc plays games because they're fun and got a community

I really wish this was the case but it's not.(edited)
Pinka - Today at 8:43 PM
it definitely is
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:43 PM
the FGC for what it's worth is a business.
Pinka - Today at 8:43 PM
you wouldn't know because you aint apart of the fgc
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:43 PM
it's not a gaming community
it's ruled by sponsorships and teams
it's ruled by people who want to see an exciting esport
they dont' care if the community is good or not
or even if the content is interesting
just if it's exciting to watch.

you talkin about street fighter
not the entire rest of the fgc
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:44 PM

Pinka - Today at 8:44 PM
though again, you think the fgc is entirely street fighter
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:44 PM
this isn't just about SFV.
Pinka - Today at 8:44 PM
because you dont know what you're talking about
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:44 PM

this is the FGC in a nutshell
Pinka - Today at 8:44 PM

Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:44 PM
it's a business like it or not
the FGC is esports
Pinka - Today at 8:44 PM

Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:44 PM
this how esports works Pinka
it's a business
and whether you like it or not or even believe me, games are now a business.
they're ruled by people like Tempo Storm and Panda Global and Liquid.
Pinka - Today at 8:45 PM

people being driven out by their homies in the local scene
Grass | 川沢 | 川道里 - Today at 8:46 PM

that was when smash became an esport
and when it became a business
Pinka - Today at 8:46 PM
people being flown out of foreign countries from no sponsors by the community just to see em get 33rd is 100% corporations
