>"When SIE acquired Evo alongside RTS in 2021, our goal was to help the Evo community grow and spotlight the skills and passion of fighting game fans on a global stage," said Phil Rosenberg, SVP and Head of Global Partner Development & Relations at Sony Interactive Entertainment. "As SIE transitions to become an Evo sponsor, the momentum for Evo has never been stronger, following a successful Las Vegas event and upcoming expansion to new regions. We look forward to supporting the continued growth of Evo globally."

fuck Evo. bunch of nonces. Dead or Alive sends its regards.

holy fucking shit thats funny. i thought Sony and P*kimane were the worst possible thing that could happen to the GRAND STAGE OF FIGHTING GAMES
But once again, the universe has proven me wrong, if only to give me a hearty laugh

>>718678454
I think it's funny how EVO is as cringe and poorly run as it was in 2008 even though so many corporate entities and money has passed through it.

I'd like to remind people that just a few weeks ago, they announced that Evo would be having multiple events around the world, turning it into a circuit as opposed to one big event. And now its going to be owned and managed by fucking scammers, lmao

>>718681136
Nintendo not allowing Smash Melee to be in it killed EVO, kek.

>>718681136
How are Smashfags still this salty about being dropped by EVO when they're the ones who said they didn't need the event? It's the most blatant display of sour grapes.

>>718680517
The Dota 2 International was insanely profitable. The compendium made hundreds of millions every year even after the 30 million dollar prize pool. The problem is that Valve measures profits in the billions so even something being a baseline level of profitable just isn't good enough to justify investing in it. It also created the issue where nobody wanted to watch any Dota 2 if it wasn't the International, so every other event in the year became heavily unprofitable.

>>718681139
Really depends on a location to location basis.

>>718680882
Yes?

>>718678326
They sold 75 million systems as a loss leader but forgot to put out any games to make money off of.

dota 2 directly uses money from the users, it's not the same as the others

Does that mean the smell bans will be lifted?

SAAAAAARS... we won

>>718678129 (OP)
Fighting games are a relic of the past that need to die. FGCfags deserve every particle of poo coming from this.

I'm still baffled by why Sony bought EVO in the first place. It was never gonna turn a profit, and fighting games, while it pains me to say, is slowly dying as a genre. Also, it's laughable to see this Qiddiya stuff being pushed when no one is interested in it.

lol this is karma for 4chan shitting on Indians so hard.

>>718681926
it was probably really fucking cheap, since the tournament had a sour reputation after that fat fuck who ran the show was outed as a kiddy diddler. pretty sure it was also during the coof, and fighting games have been dying forever, so they probably got a bargain. maybe even made a small profit on this sale

>>718682076
Karma implies anything of value was lost. The reality is that EVO hasnt been good in basically a decade ever since SF4 dropped out and MVC3 got old. Tekken 7 was only "good" because SF5 was that fucking awful. SF6 is more of the same shit but people are forced to pretend to like it instead of admit that the shit fucking sucks to watch.

I havent watched EVO in years and the only time I have watched it is only because that bald fuck sitting in his green room is lazy and watches it to get his 4 hours a day in.

what the fuck is this webm

Endeavor still holds 50% so nothing literally changes. Theyre the ones responsible for the sloppification of EVO

Endeavor is majority owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) through TKO Group. In collegiate athletics Endeavor-Learfield IMG represents The American, A10, Big 12, Conference USA, Horizon League, MAC, MEAC, OVC, SEC and WCC.

DESIGNATED

>>718682529
I mean old fgc had fags and trannies. Are we forgetting Ricky Ortiz? There was also always crossdressers cosplaying in the crowd at evo. The difference is that now the community is soft as shit and there arent genuinely memorable or hype moments like when FChimp was talking shit to KBR and beat him in the long set only to lose to him in tournament. I know that wasnt Evo but im just saying fgc in general.

Like I said before, if it wasnt for Aris I wouldnt be watching anything fighting game related at all and I rarely do even right now. I skip the streams where he just restreams it because its so boring to watch. I really miss the SF4 era.

>>718678417

Pretty Ricky was like the exception and just one guy. Even then he kept that shit secular. Now you got people waving transflags, hijacking shit like GG and Gatekeeping, collusion and using transphobia to get anyone who doesn't march instep banned.

The fact LTG is still banned for shittalking a tranny but the Tranny, who was banned only for a short period for being caught saying the Hard R N word should say enough.
There was no Trans pass back then. Nor did anyone get banned for saying slurs. But I damn sure know they would give that tranny a hard time for saying the Hard R.

roblox is just zoomer and alpha gmod. The problem is games nowadays are majority shit. You're not going to get your zoomer audience to play games when its being advertised as a black or indian woman screaming at a screen.

The PS5 hit a brick wall because it has no games, owning a random fighting game tournament becomes frivolous when your main money maker is in decline.

Thats regular sports too desu.
Everyone watches pirate streams and tickets are such a small part of revenue that sports leagues have all been pushing the cancerous trend of sports gambling since no one buys their stupid subscription packages or goes to a game to pay 70$ for parking and $300 for a seat with a 20$ hot dog and 10$ plastic cup of piss water

Does this mean Smash can finally come back? When it does, will it be Melee or Ultimate?

Fighting games will continue to exist, its just that corps like sony were buying up the community events to try and keep a hold on information, so someone can't go up on the tourney, win and then shittalk some random company like sony for overcharging their console. Control the events and flow of information. But they ceded this to india. Makes me wonder if they have some backdoor deal to keep this going, or they've completely given up on optics.

>>718685304

what's their issue with street sweepers and cleanliness? if everyone woke up and started collectively picking up trash after themselves, helped clean their home area like every other non retard country instead of "releasing" the plastic to the winds, maybe their cities, roads and rivers would not be health hazards and just disgusting in general.

True.

Did you all see how bad the peak viewership was this year too? The EVO main channel peaked at like 70k, which I know doesn't include the people restreaming it but damn those numbers were low.

I wonder if over the years they were abusing embeds to inflate viewership and since Twitch removed that it all came crashing down

>>718686171
It was 2023. SF6 just launched and I think T8 was shortly after.

This is because to many people remember the mid 00's-2016 era where PC gaming was bad. Back then console gaming was the only way to play and exclusives were annoying. The problem is that exclusives are absolutely needed to keep consoles afloat, as PC can just get everything not nailed down. Now that PC gaming is easier to get into, the lack of exclusives is fucking over Sony and Xbox which both gradually removed their exclusives to try an appeal to more people, while Nintendo (probably seeing this happening) guarded their exclusives as a way to sell their consoles.

>>718686758
Yeah the ads are insufferable too. Ads should be a silent slideshow between setting up games at max, not jammed in every 10 minutes

>>718686967
Mike Watson said that Mr Wiz took out DOA because of sponsorship money he never gave a fuck about skin exposure in the first place.
"Core values" was literally just a PR excuse.

>>718678454
I mean, you can start watching Smash tournaments. They're still like that, even the "Big" ones like Apex.

The only downside is you'd have to watch Smash.

>>718685458
Their caste system dictates a group below them should pick them up but the lowest group got tired of being the unpaid jannies for everyone and everyone else thinks they're above taking their trash to a bin.

>>718687202

Smash is out of EVO, and everywhere else, because of Nintendo.
Why don't tendies EVER blame Nintendo for the problems they themselves created?

>>718691184
Nintendo is like sacred cow of vishnu, higher caste can do no wrong

>>718691184
It's NEVER Nintendo's fault. Nintendo can do no wrong. Nintendo is perfect.

>>718691184
Why would people blame Nintendo for getting strict when it's the tournament organisers who are blatantly advertising piracy, hiding behind charity, sucking little boys and haven't figured out basic hygiene?
It's like saying the gunman in a hostage situation is the victim because they were jailed.

>>718691552
Oh yeah and organising public tournaments without a licence and ignoring warnings to get one.
Most other FGCs have learned this shit and know how to do it properly but smashfags think they're above it all for some reason.

Not the point.
The point is that Tendies is blaming Sony/EVO for Smash not being there, while the blame lies with Smash players and Nintendo themselves.

>>718678326
2016 happened to them.

>>718692462
Okay? No one told Sony to buy Evo or smash fans to be literally retarded. How exactly would that put the blame on Nintendo?
Also I don't think tendies even care about tournaments.

>>718692802
no one sane cares about tournaments

>>718692802
>Also I don't think anyone even care about tournaments
FIFY

They used to have an iron grip when their food wasnt insanely overpriced for the portions

One burrito should not cost 15 bucks. But its the same bullshit Panera and Starbucks bank on. Open up in some middle class neighborhood, sell overpriced food but slap fancy labels and market over how unique and fresh the ingredients are. White girls and sois who are wannabe upperclass dont want to be seen as stooping to the level of fast food by going to Taco bell or whatever but want the same convinience in the interest of time.

1- too many ads
2- with stacked tournaments every two weeks evo has lost the hardcore watcher crowd
3- production is getting worse each fucking year
4- issues with streaming across every fucking main game
5- wastjng time on retarded shit like rock, paper scissors and circle jerking west coast's fgc cabal
funniest thing? this year actually had way less ads. but it still was too much and you still had to sit through 10 minutes or more for fights.
they also increased the price of the pass. it was $500 to attend and $200 extra to enter the arena on day 3. If you didn't paid the extra you got relegated to chipotle's cuck sector. all of that without tax and payment processor's operational costsat0nv

Fighting game events and India has a perfect smell overlap, this sounds like the right decision

>>718678129 (OP)
Evo is just another tournament these days, aura is gone.

Please do the needful Ken super level 2 on Chun-li bobs saar.

Man even from the standpoint of if you still thought of Evo as a bucket list thing I could never justify 500 American dollars for a video game tournament, what the jewish fuck

>EVO 2026
>there's shit everywhere
>it smells like curry throughout the whole building
>no one knows what change since last year
Can't wait!

RTS still has their share so she's still an owner. Sony just sold theirs since in the bigger picture they don't really gain money from hosting events. It's the reason they have stop doing their PS experience conferences.

>everyone focusing on Aryan
>ignoring PUBG Mobile is the game

>>718678129 (OP)
Ah so that was why they went so woke in the first place
didn't even know that sony owned them

>>718678326
Games?!?!?

>>718678454
Not even the actual players want that, they want to make a career out of playing video games.
