So, Internet non celebrity Asalieri launched a video that attacks The Escapist, and Yahtzee in particular, about the escapists plan to get Yahtzee to Pax by having people donate. See video here:

while it does seem like a rather cheapskate move by the escapist (( Can't they use all the fat advert money they get from me watching Yahtzee's Videos repeatedly to get him to PAX?)), I also have to examine Asalieri's motivations, that go way beyond the altruistic in this instance.
Namely, his connection to this guy:

Now I have seen every video by all three of these people. I actually like all three of them. But Razorfist and Asalieri's main complaint about Yahtzee seem to be that he is successful, and makes more money than them. So I am inclined to simply call "troll" and move on. However, Asa makes some valid points regarding The Escapist's tightfistedness and desire to get all of us to pay for Yahtzee to go to pax. I am a bit torn. I would prolly pay 100.00 to hang out with Yahtzee at Pax, if I was going to it. But the Escapists excuse that Yahtzee's expenses must be paid etc, and not by them, seems extremely thin and pathetic.
Your Thoughts?
