Boycott live gamer vids for views

  Can't speak for others, but now that the number of views required to obtain credits has been doubled, it's no longer worth my time to view the vids.

  The best way (imo) to make a statement is to simply boycott the vids.  Advertising's no good if no one watches.

  I suggest we all avoid watching until/unless the policy is changed.

  No malice intended toward WGT, but this new policy is unreasonably drastic and came without warning.

  WGT say its what they had to do to keep them there. I say kick these people who offer these creds off your site WGT. Get someone in who dont act like modern day Robin Hoods. Its your site WGT, start acting like it is.

  where does WGT say that?

  boycotts never work.

  for all we know Live Gamer (LG) has a stake in WGT. On the other hand, WGT isn't even a big enough client of LG to warrant a spot on LG's client list.

  My guess would be that WGT needs LG more then LG needs WGT.

  I think I am done too, they were getting out of hand with the 12 minute videos for measly 2 views now this comes without warning. i was 4 views away from another 75 credits, now i am only half way there, not worth my time

  Im not a businessman, but this strangely looks like a the type of situation when something happens in takeovers. Could be way off the mark here, but is there a new sheriff in town, and hungry for blood, lol.
