`Madness` is rake in any SSNL games in pretty much almost any platform (now vs how it was 5-10 years ago everywhere), besides i guess sites like WPN where u get very limited amount of recs due to that (and few other reasons).
That i would qualify as madness, yes.
I wouldn`t feel too sorry about people who consistently make 100s of thousands and millions of $ quarterly, in past 10-15+ years. Trust me, they`re gonna do fine with or w.o 7bb GG rake games.
Can only imagine how much money they made in these GG games overall in past 2-3 years alone.
Im more than sure GG would rather have 5 extra 1k games running instead of one 5k where rec loses his deposit way faster. Its quite simple math, and they very well know it.
They only rly need these high stakes games for exposure/marketing if u think about it (thats why no actual big names pros (or a lot of them anyways) were actually banned for insanely predatory bumhunting at those nl40-100k games in past 2-3 years, i mean there`s been hundreds and thousands of hours of footage now, where obvious spot busts or leaves and all table breaks instantly, and their policy in 1k or lower games is no bumhunting is allowed or u get almost immediate warning/ban (sometimes for no reason at all btw) - and here nothing ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Dont u see what has been happening there and why?
For as long as they needed marketing from those games, none of those guys in those VIP games were touched rly, even tho it was waaaay more predatory for quite long period of time than any games anywhere online including most predatory ssnl action, LOL. its quite stupid to deny this obvious fact).
These high stakes guys have moved their action to GG back when it was a lot smaller, making sites like Stars etc plummet (i know i know stars are greed/bad etc but its not as scummy as GG nowhere near close), now GG got very very strong in these few years, partially also due to these same HS guys free marketing (while these same players were making tons of $ in the process btw).
Now GG decides to fk them over, and its time to feel sorry for them?
Interesting.
While MSNL or lower across all platforms got but*f*ed in geometrical progression relative to GG getting stronger and stronger (and other sites almost had to adjust and copy this dogsht behavior), AGAIN partially due to all this free marketing from HS games, innerpsy type streams, etc etc.
Yes i know its obv not the only reason, they got rly big due to shady markets, asia, crypto deposit methods, etc etc.
But there are various different weight factors involved in the overall equation that doesnt deny the only most important fact - they are nr1 by far and can do whatever they want now.
They where veeeery shady and scummy before, what do you think will happen now that they`ve became the biggest site online?
Now we need to feel sorry for them HS guys?
Now that they are very far ahead number one, i guess they will get rid (at least partially) of that unnecessary money loss.
