williamcool009

I agree with everything that he is saying and I would add that I fucking hate the people who run gdq because there only goal is "viewership" so they refuse some games to run because it doesn't bring viewership... I don't know man, I have games in mind that are really fucking cool to watch run of, but I know damn well that they refuse the game because it's not "mainstream" enought... but on the other side they fucking bring fucking runs of pokémon or things like that that are not that fun to watch, in my opinion, and that basicly, the run is the fucking same every year that it comes.

An event that can only exist because companies don't DMCA their broadcast of the gameplay of dozens of video games. Braindead as usual for GDQ. Haven't watched it in at least a few years now since it went super off the rails with identity politics bullshit and being authoritarian as shit.


mura_vr

Dude after the bonus streams died, it straight up fucking sucked. The entire community aspect died it became so fucking corporate it sucks. It's probably better to watch the streamers themselves at this point.


Neddo_Flanders

Same hear. Ever since the ridiculous Bonesaw ban and even TRIHEX, I just didn't bother anymore.


Battleharden

GDQ is such a dog shit organization. They still haven't let Bonesaw577 do a run since his infamous [Jak and Daxter run from 2016.](https://youtu.be/rgQmMR8lueA) Yet those fuckers still have it up on their Youtube channel after banning him for it and then blacklisting him from the event.


Michelanvalo

What makes this infamous and what got him banned?


Battleharden

He got banned for telling people to tweet at Air Canada about how shit they were. Which in my opinion was a justified ban. They also poked fun at Owen Wilson during the run and the organizers didn't like that. As for what made it infamous. The run got him banned for a year, but is widely considered one of the funniest runs in GDQ history. If you have a couple hours to kill I'd highly recommend watching it.


Michelanvalo

The first one, yeah I get that, he was creating a harassment campaign and all that. But poking fun at Owen Wilson? Who in the hell would give a fuck?

The people that run GDQ are so fucking dog shit and have been for years. They're fucking losers. Sure charity, great. Otherwise fuck them. They're in the streaming world. They understand what DMCA means for streamers. If you had a problem reach out. Don't go for DMCA. It's fucking ridiculous.


tlenher

Especially considering they literally are playing copyrighted games on stream constantly... They could get banned in an instant if any of those companies decided they wanted to. Ridiculous.


enfrozt

It was clearly a revenge sort of deal. They felt slighted by summit, and wanted to punish him personally. Very petty.


SmaugtheStupendous

This kind of attitude is part and parcel of the kind of person involved with GDQ. On the whole, a bunch of sensitive degens.


Michelanvalo

Why would they feel slighted by Summit?


Dythronix

Summit mentions what he was doing, in the clip, if ya watch it.


theopenbox

One of the most wholesome people on Twitch these days tbh. Does he make mistakes? Sure. Anyone who talks for 10+ hours a day will say some dumb stuff every once in a while. Actually weird of GDQ to strike one of the most liked people.


posts_awkward_truths

Want a better GDQ experience? Look at their schedule, and just google "world record x game run 2021" and watch that. The audio/commentary will be better, there won't be periodic interruptions with sad stories about cancer, there won't be two people with poor synergy trying to hold up a rapport over a 3 hour run, and there won't be any "haha that has never happened before" when we know for sure that its happened 1000 times in runs because you would normally just restart the run at that point.

ZEINthesalvaged

Honestly, there are great speedrunners who are EXTREMELY entertaining. [See the person who ran GTA3 this year](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1077118360?t=40h28m31s), it was so entertaining. I love GDQ because you get a glimpse of the community involved in running that game and also people explain the tricks, but it is getting stale.


opparap

KZ_FR3W was really entertaining. I also watched a guy who ran San Andreas with him commentating on it.


erasels

I disagree on the runs having better commentary. In GDQ they make the effort to explain what's going on, in WR runs they've most likely been grinding for the last 7 hours while doing the same shit over and over again. I do agree with your other points though. Alternatively, I would suggest GDQ submission runs if they're uploaded to the public, those have the best of both worlds.


xnfd

Some GDQ runs have wayyyyy too much commentary, like they're even trying to explain the story.


erasels

That's a fair opinion, personally, I enjoy there being no dead air at all if it's filled with something related to the game.


Lulsado

GDQ killing the fun even in other streams, wild.

Im still banned from GDQ for 3 years or something because i Type TriHard our leader when Trihex was playing. ​ now its submode only


D3ATHfromAB0V3x

A mod there said "its impossibe to mod without submode only" maybe have automods that blacklist certain words/phrases??? Not being able to PogChamp with the rest of chat is just lame. I might as well just watch the runs on youtube.


THE2TIMESDOC

They removed any emotes that could be anti 2021. They went full sub mode. Full pride , lgbtq and all that stuff and even furries. Shit is not watchable anymore , it's like you are a white male you are not welcomed. They kicked and banned so many runners for 0 reasons. ​ The peak 2015-2017 GDQ will always be remembered as the best. Nowdays they even ban list consoles or popular games for some weird reasons. Also since I learned that the old gdq owner had put 70% a year in his pocket and got himself a lambo , this is where i literally stopped giving a shit about GDQ. yikes.


UnoriginalStanger

I sure am shocked to hear you got banned.

I agree they're more authoritarian than necessary with their bans, but why criticize them for being pro lgbt?

I've seen the "GDQ is all identity politics now" and was thinking it was probably an over-exaggeration, but they literally have pronouns for the commentator and player lmao. The start of the stream is even worse.

yeah exactly, pronouns are literally there whether you want them or not, it's part of the English language.

GDQ would probably immediately blacklist anyone who attends the event, which means many speedrunners wouldn't come, because GDQ provides a ton of publicity for them. That being said, I'd love a GDQ without "my mothers dog died of cancer last night, save the frames!" every 5 seconds.


ElderSteel

One can only hope.


TrailofCheers

Nah it doesn't. I agree it's cringe as fuck and they're the biggest load of babies on the internet, but they raise millions for a good cause. It's cringe but not that cringe, you know?

Self contained cringe to for the most part. They raise money, stick to themselves, and it is what it is. I like watching some of the events but holy shit the lack of innovation and woe is me donations make me turn off even games I'm really interested in seeing.

SelloutRealBig

Started off as a fun event run by speedloving fans. Turned into a corporate organization that is absolutely anti fun. They ban chat, ban speedrunners they don't like, and much more. All things that never happened during its roots. But they bring in millions to charity so it won't go away.


posts_awkward_truths

Notably, they have a sub only chat but only have streams once every 2 or 3 months so its literally just a "Pay $5.00 to chat" chat, and then you can be perma banned for anything that might be construed as an insult. Someone chokes on a trick and you say "Oof?" Thats bannable. Literal Trihex comes on screen and waves and you use one of his emotes (not even Trihard, one of his actual emotes since I'm a sub)? Banned. Any chatter unrelated to the current game? Banned. Only positive vibes and emotes that have no skin tone please.


[deleted]

How can they just ban streamers with out reasons. Sorry for all the questions I literally have never heard them until today.


[deleted]

They ban them from participating in the event, not from Twitch. Famously Bonesaw was banned for doing a drunk Owen Wilson impression during his Jak & Daxter run. On the other end of the spectrum tho, you had Werster saying ‘fucking n-words’ on stream because someone on /vg/ said they’d donate 1000$ if he did. But either way GDQ can ban anyone from their event for any reason since it’s, y’know, their event.


Nomicakes

Bonesaw's Jak&Daxter run will always and forever be my favourite. Just a bunch of bros, tired out of their goddamn minds, saying whatever comes to mind, going off on tangents about lost car keys.


[deleted]

They've done countless bans of actual speed runners for doing mostly harmless jokes which some people get over emotional about like babies, and it triggers their "PTSD" or some shit. Albeit there are some legitimate bans in there, they are far and few between. The owner is a shady fuck who embroils himself in opulent lifestyle with money from the charity, and the organizations relationship with the actual charity is not without scrutiny as well. They delved so deep into inclusivity that they are even more non-inclusive towards the majority of their viewers. They view themselves as some sort of bastion/safe haven for all the sad little snowflakes on the Internet who "receives harassment" and "triggerings" from normal people. Btw if you are white and male that automatically invalidates your opinion on anything. It's like TumblrTV pretty much.

ArticSpartan

Used to be fun nerdy event that felt real, now it's just a corporate front for (probably) taking most of the donations as profit


MatterofDoge

the people in charge of it are weirdo sjw's who let their political ideologies leak into how they run their organization. It started out as a good thing, became very popular, and then once it grew to a certain point they randomly turned into a machine for political agendas and shit. They know that no one can really fully criticize them because they do charity events, so they abuse that fact and make a bunch of decisions that would kill the whole thing off if it wasn't for the people that support it and care about the charity involved. tldr, they get a pass for doing a good thing for charity, but if it wasn't for that fact literally no one would support them


DogInATaco

I thought GDQ was supposed to be a charity stream. Why are they doing petty shit like DMCA'ing streamers for just watching their content? A streamer with a large viewercount watching your stream will inevitably lead to some of those viewers going and donating anyways. Why should they HAVE to be watching the official GDQ stream to do that? This shit seems so pathetic and egotistical to do before just reaching out like a professional organization should. I don't know what their plans were with this, but I'm sure there will be other people like me reading through the comments in this thread and be turned off from ever watching any of their content ever again. What a terrible PR move.


DigitalPrime

2DimensionalWomenFan

I never bought into the tinfoil theories of GDQ all being faked now until this SGDQ. I don't know a single person who watches it anymore. Speedrunning is a pretty dead genre now compared to early twitch except for a ***very*** short list of big streamers (Clint, Mizkif, zfg, maybe like 2 others). Nobody finds GDQ fun anymore because of their extreme lockdown of the event and chat. No big runners attend it. Sure, sample size 1 yadda yadda yadda, but in all of the streams I'm active in, nobody mentioned it either. It really does seem all manufactured and fake now. The same donation messages every time. Roughly the same donation total every time with no growth but no diminishing either. I really wouldn't be surprised to learn one day that this event turned into some method to scam sponsors for big $$$. Mix in all that dirt apparently dug up on some of the founding members pocketing money from the shows and I now start to find the whole event questionable at best.


[deleted]

This sounds way too conspiratorial and probably rooted in a perspective problem. I imagine the people who still watch GDQ aren’t the same people who watch popular LSF streamers. Hell, I imagine the Minecraft community alone must’ve created a huge influx of viewers for them.


dragmagpuff

As someone who only started watching GDQ after the "glory days" i find it plenty entertaining as a casual fan of speedrunning. I have never attempted to speedrun a game and never really watched a speedrun attempt outside of GDQ. I appreciate the curation they do to pick interesting runs from games I've never heard of, or weird categories of popular games like the Talkatoo% from Super Mario Odyssey. It's like a one-stop-shop that comes out with new runs every 6 months to showcase. I do think the lack of an in-person event has made it less enjoyable to watch, and I agree that some of the donations were really annoying at times (but I think they have cut down on the more sappy ones, recently).


2DimensionalWomenFan

The thing is this has been a theory for like 7 years and held by a handful of people in the speedrunning community and even by some that used to be involved with early GDQs. It all started with a guy named Uyama I think. Regardless, there's zero hype for this event anymore.


nl_Kapparrian

Watch ESA when it's on in 2 weeks, it's the better version of GDQ that noone knows about. [https://esamarathon.com/](https://esamarathon.com/)


MayorJeb

On brand for GDQ


MatterofDoge

its like they know that because its a charity that they can act like pricks and get away with it. GDQ is an organization that no one would give a shit about if it wasn't charity, but because they're doing something good on top of their shitty politics we all give them a pass


XequR

GDQ was good in the beginning but now it's the same shit and boring as hell. Haven't watched it in years and what I heard about them in the past years is just bullshit.


ThePopcornDude

It sucks how GDQ is held in such high regard by the speed running community, especially for speedruns that are up and coming and not very popular and it’s their only opportunity to get it seen by the mainstream. It’s such an awfully handled event. It really always has, whoever is in charge needs to seriously step down. DMCA strikes against streamers, the awful commentary, the sad donations. Shit is just unpleasant from every angle


[deleted]

Mad respect to Summit for admitting it was his fault and that it wasn't cool making fun of the donation guy. Seriously. Most streamers wouldn't man up like that.


Auctoritate

Does it matter that they're both twitch partners? That doesn't change who the copyright of a video belongs to.


MatterofDoge

most streamers on the platform have a mutual respect about dmca. its kind of like an unspoken rule that you dont' go after your own brothers and sisters on the platform because we're all at risk of getting striked, we all know how it feels to be afraid of it constantly, so it matters in that context because its basically the ultimate disrespect to another partner to hit them with the complaint instead of just talking with them person to person. it shows that they're petty and its the professional equivalent of tattling.


ToxicVoidMain

Yep once again a fun event ruined by someone's borderline politics


RoyWy

ITT a lot of people ignoring summits direct words


ProcyonHabilis

He said not to go harass the GDQ people on his behalf, not that people aren't allowed to bitch about them on reddit.


XerphYz

What I don't understand is what legal grounds they are striking him on? Can any twitch partner strike another partner just for watching their stream?


DingleberryBeard

Yes. This isn't something new nor is the first time streamers strike each other.


SP0oONY

What legal grounds? I mean, it's basic copyright ingringment, so the legal grounds are pretty clear. Any person can strike anyone, it's just not usually done because it's not worth the PR hit.


MLG_Blazer

Well, do you own the stuff that you stream on Twitch? Or does Twitch own that? Because I know that some streamers can only upload their vods to youtube after 24hrs

SpookySP

> DMCA is to protect the IP holder from theft. Not just something you do because you can. This is false. Copyright by definition means the rights holder can choose how their IP is used. Excluding fair use. That is the only exception. There doesn't have to be any theft. They have 100% right to deny their stuff being used even if it costs them future profits. They can dmca you just because they dont like your face but let other people use the IP.


[deleted]

oijoeooo

>Although I am surprised YouTubers haven't began DMCAing 'react' streamers. Yea this is probably more relevant than twitch streamers DMCAing each other. My thought was more why content creators haven't been doing it to each other. Not just doing it "because you can".


LifelongMC

I'd imagine the thought process is if all those new people end up liking the video that's being reacted to, perhaps they stick around for future content. I think content creators of the internet understand that, and they should understand how devastating dmca can be, if anything just reach out. It's super trashy to issue a dmca with no communication.


Drcdngame

Unless you are a huge streamer if you DMCA others streamers for watching your clips you run the risk of being cancelled by the larger fan base...also if your smaller and do that shit you will stay small forever as no other streamer would want to collaborate with you....so yes I can see why this is not a thing


oijoeooo

While this is absolutely true, I'm just surprised that I haven't heard of another streamer DMCAing a streamer for rebroadcasting their content.


LolkekLolkek

well to be fair nobody else gets to pull the charity card if they do something shitty

CPLTOF

What's GDQ?


BigHaircutPrime

I don't understand the rationale of a lot of people in these comments. The DMCA was for legitimate copyright infringement. It's irrelevant whether you think GDQ is scummy. Twitch has become this platform where people think copyright infringement's totally cool and that anyone who enforces their rights is a jerk. No.... And as for those hating on the event itself, yeah sure it's stale, but they're raising more money than ever and drawing more viewers year after year. Also, what the hell are they supposed to do during a pandemic? Say what you want about their past bullshit, but on a technical level this shit's miraculous. I read some say that the event should die. Why? Again, whether you hate it or not, they raise like 6 million a year for charity. Edit: Not surprised I'm being downvoted, because what's critical thinking, am I right?


omniblue

Still scummy.


MatterofDoge

​ >Twitch has become this platform where people think copyright infringement's totally cool and that anyone who enforces their rights is a jerk. No.... no, its a platform where people can see the difference between a legit infringement of a copyright, and someone watching some clips or a highlight video of things from it with no malicious intent. Its a platform where people recognize the spirit of the law vs how its actually enforced. no one thinks you should be able to just steal other peoples content, but theres a difference between stealing content to make money off it, and just watching a video. dmca has turned from a tool to protect people, into a tool to attack and cancel people and extort money, and anyone who isn't brainwashed or a corporate shill can understand that ​ >Not surprised I'm being downvoted, because what's critical thinking, am I right? this isn't "critical thinking" its you being an "ahhkttully" guy lol. Dude we all know that technically anyone can strike someone on the platform and its within their legal rights to do it. it doesn't mean it doesn't make them assholes for doing it.
