mghughlaurieyes it's so hilarious that a company used their users computers for their own benefit without telling them it was happening.
wasn't on purpose, and the money is going into the prize pot
i'd be fine with them doing this for prize pots or freemium actually

Just because ESEA admins said it doesn't mean it's true.
Still, I have no real reason to be more than slightly suspicious.

some people had their gpu's fry because of this. Ridiculous they would even consider doing something so unprofessional and irresponsible.

I think the best part is lpkane being lpkane and just laughing it off like it's no big deal. It really is unfortunate that this is the only way we can keep TF2 going.

This wasn't just tf2 players... everyone who uses the esea client was affected.

If only leetway supported tf2.
Some people need to poke at them to expand beyond csgo.
Also maybe UGC 6v6 will finally start getting people.

The fact that this idea went beyond just that and actually happened is very unsettling. I see nothing but malicious intent. Honestly hope someones takes up a lawsuit. There'd be a lot of damages. This shit seriously better not slip by for some freemium and some prize money. They used YOUR property without your knowledge to make money and then not credit you.

At least we got free month of premium, instead of fucking ESEA points.

ESEA not being involved with TF2 wouldn't Kill OzFortress, ETF2L, UGC, or CEVO. TF2 could still exist, it would only die if people who actually played and widely recognized LIKE YOU gave up on it.

Yes, and ESEA dropping tf2, or the tf2 community deciding to boycott ESEA would lead to such.

hrm well if bitcoins are often used to purchase illegal things online then that means...
That the true purpose of esea is to take our money and obtain child pornography. Here's how it works. When you run the ESEA client it says that it just scans for hacks, right? well it does, but it also scans for child porn, which if found, is uploaded to their servers. That's why the servers are always so shitty. People are constantly uploading CP. Bitcoins are often used to buy illegal things online, so ESEA must be farming bitcoins with our computers so that they can purchase child pornography and possibly drugs holy shit this is retarded what am I writing lol

Money wise, doesn't CEVO? I haven't paid attention to CEVO in a long time but I remember it giving cash back in the CS days.
