So what? Double Fine got Millions of Dollars to make some small adventure game.
People can spend their money how they want. How about you give all your money to charity, OP? |
| SlayerBVC #1357770 2 months ago |
Shut up OP. You're an anon, no one cares what you think.
Get the Hell out. |

This morning I spent 20 dollars buying useless crap for Mass Effect 3 multiplayer and I don't regret it. Are you going to tell me I should have given those 20 dollars to charity?
People earn their money, then they choose how to spend it. |

Okay, I do disagree with OP, but no because he's an anon but because he's wrong to me. Now you disagree with him mainly because he didn't create an account. That's just wrong. And I bet you think you're somehow superior because you singed up. |

i am not the OP but...this is like patting ourselves on the back, like "wow we bronies are the best fans ever". there are better projects, Seeds of Kindness, for example. |

You are aware that EqD has held plenty of donation drives before, right? Those were all massive successes and they went to good causes, the briefest glimpse at the website has links to at least three different fundraisers.
While I'm on the subject, why the fuck is it so wrong for us to pool our money and thank the people who make something we enjoy possible in a way that no other fandom, to the best of my knowledge, has ever done? Why is it shameless self promotion? How exactly does it make us look bad? I guess we're just supposed to take your word for it. 4/10 You got me to type a couple paragraphs, but I felt like responding to idiots on the internet anyway. |

i'm not annon, i disagree with op in the fact that the idea is "shameless" and "self-promoting" considering it's a thank you, but i have to agree that the money could have gone to a charity rather than a comercial. you can thank the people at the hub website. |
| Anonymous #1357927 2 months ago |
I find a commercial a waste of thank you money there are at least a thousand other things you could thank them with with $2,000 |

People here seem to forget that the cost of the Ad goes directly to the HUB. We're giving them money. |

Anonymous@1358216 said: I think that's a good point, Anon. I was thinking that this is shameless self-promotion, even though it would be a good way to show that we care as a community. But (assuming that the money is going to a commercial) the HUB will get this money, which is supporting the network airing the show (and Hasbro.) If you think of it that way, then I'd be more comfortable with it. But I really, REALLY hope it's not as poor quality as I think it might be. Even if the heart is in the right place and it support Hasbro, The Hub, and therefore the show, it can show really badly on us as a community. No offense to the brony meetups on EqD, and I get that you shouldn't be too concerned about what outside parties think...but you're not just representing yourself. You're representing an entire community. It's not a cut and dry issue. |

Money going to an ad agency is giving the ad people money. Circulating money in general is good.
Plus, bronies still do quite a lot of charity work on the side. |
