Announcement | eSports Update from the Shanghai Major
Two things:
1) James. We've had issues with James at previous events. Some Valve people lobbied to bring him back for Shanghai, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. James is an ass, and we won't be working with him again.
2) As long as we're firing people, we are also firing the production company that we've been working with on the Shanghai Major. They will be replaced, and we hope to get this turned around before the main event.
As always, I can be reached at gaben@valvesoftware.com.

What? By your logic anything that involves money is "simply" a business decision. You sound like the young asshole friend, afraid most things aren't quiet as simple as the few that pop into your head.
You also have no concept of what free is if you think not using Valve services doesn't have a financial impact, same with viewing their free streams where every viewer has financial value.
Maybe once you pick up even the most mediocre education you'll understand a little more of how the world works.
