On one hand I can understand the apology isn't enough and the needing that money you are owed but at the same time the man is out for the count and is already paying dearly for it, he literally has NOTHING, how is he supposed to pay one back when he doesn't have the funds to do so? This is since loan shark shit, hell even for those that didn't get payed why is it such a problem that a man who is down and out for the count can't pay you money even though you clearly have enough money? Yeah plane tickets are expensive as fuck and I get it is frustrating to not be able to pay those with the money you earned but at the same time these are tournaments for a video game and demanding money seems like a very greedy and selfish way to go, it is clear that you are no longer in it for the game and just in it for the money, which is not how anything like this should be treated, going to tournaments isn't a full time job, it is a hobby, something one does for the love of doing it, it is expensive and yeah because of the lack of payout you might not be able to go to as many tournaments as soon but it tends to be able the experience, and why shouldn't it be? These tournaments are for improving, competition, and most of all fun. Hell if you are just doing this for the money, I don't think you should be doing it at all, but then again who gives a shit what I think, I'm a random scrub on the internet, feel free to ignore me, I have no validity to my name, I'm just a man that loves video games, nothing more nothing less.
