Exclusive

February 24th, 2012

Announcement is late, but – I will be covering the MLG NY Winter Arena for @GameSpot! Look for coverage all weekend on GameSpot.com!

We have a reporter in the #MLG office for Winter Arena but are barred from reporting or taking any photos. Will try for interviews Sat/Sun.

@chrytonbaine @esfi @MrMLGAdam So give exclusive to media that never cared before and lock out the ones busting ass all year in scene?

— SirScoots (@SirScoots) February 24, 2012

Yup.

Look, I want people who cover esports to find success, get jobs, create livelihoods. It should not come at the expense of others in the sector.

. @ESFI who is it? Just curious. Because nobody has asked us…

I mean, really? Are we doing this?

I think we can easily conclude that with MLG being almost broke, GameSpot must have bought their way into the extremely-full-cannot-fit-a-single-press-member venue.

Shame on Slasher for taking the job too. He could have defended the free press and let some mainstream gaming guy from GameSpot do the reporting, or let someone else sell out for exclusivity fame.
