I don't want to see competitive tf2 die, if that's what would happen, but it's not any of the players fault for not wanting to play in ESEA. ESEA has been a running a shady business with shady employees for a long time, which goes way past before the bitcoin scandal even happened. I don't think its fair to blame players for not wanting to support ESEA, who have been digging their own grave for a long time.

I guess it doesn't really matter because I don't play competitive tf2 either way, but I hope that it sticks around for a while.

It's not really the idea that mining for bitcoins to add to the prizepool is bad, it's that they did it without people's consent or knowledge and potentially putting their hardware at risk.

Posting a comedian's routine doesn't really add anything to the discussion, especially when it's been posted a few times before. That's just it, it's a routine. It's meant to be on the edge and funny. Louis CK doesn't go around calling people faggots in his day to day encounters with other people, saying they shouldn't be offended because they're just "being a faggot."

Louis CK doesn't actually do that bit anymore.

The history of the word faggot I don't think is correct in the video, but it shows why he doesn't really use the word faggot anymore on stage.

Just because you don't mean something to be offensive when you say it doesn't mean other people won't find it to be offensive. It might be "just the internet," but words still have meaning and it's possible you might hurt someones feelings. If you and your friends all use the word faggot and nobody gets offended by it that's great for you guys, but words don't lose their history and the pain that can be associated with the word just because you think no one should be offended by it.

I mean if it's accepted in your group of friends that you can say faggot, or retarded, or raped or nigger, that's fine for you guys. Personally, I would try and keep words like that out of streams, or whenever you're interacting with people in the community that you don't know, but that's just what I try to do.

It's because of how popular call of duty is as a franchise. I'd like to say the most skill based games would end up being the most popular and offer the highest prize pools for tournaments, but skill ceiling has little to do with how much sponsors are willing to put into games. As long as your game is popular and people will watch it, people will put money into it.

You should be able to. It asks you separately whether you want to remove any paint or custom names from your hats, so I'm guessing its the same for weapons.

If you just want to rename it, using another name tag on it should work.
