you could watch for a few years now what happens when a movement becomes too big for itself, but this is a mirror of what you have to become if you want to survive in our medial, political and social environment.
needless to say, i doubt that anyone around here cares about
PRICES!!!

But, this is what gives people a reason to open their wallets to donate for a cause that should benefit all.
Speedrunning of games, however, has become somewhat a means of extracting maximum audience interaction, be it donation goals for filenames, NPC names, names in general, DLC costumes or visual sugar coating, or to have a certain subgroup tune in at Prime-Time, and i guess that’s why the edge cases (runs where barely anyone is up, but many watching remotely) are getting more interesting over time:
the ceiling for skill to get a run in seems to have been raised significantly, and there is not much room for a flailing oddball run making it in among the countless pro-runner contributions that make up most of the schedule. Sometimes one does, against the odds and that’s what you have to catch…
So if Zelda randomizer gets the viewcount needed to get estimated revenue return, you will put it on the schedule for making the number you are aiming for.

srsly tho, if it wasn’t for the few good runs you can catch every now and then, i wouldn’t even keep up with it, tbh … it’s spaced out far enough to not become a hassle, and when you catch a run that clicks, that’s what keeps me coming back. if it wasn’t so much effort to check out competing events, i’d probably have moved on already, so why not enjoy it while it lasts
