Well, because delaying the payment of a debt, and writing it off completely, are two different things.Caramel Frappe said:I feel like as if you ignored the majority of my post and just threw in your own conclusion.
The Escapist would not gain a cent from the extra money. The CM wanted that extra money to be used into Extra Credit's own show... I do not see how that is greed. The only reason why I didn't mention the debt part was because at the time, The Escapist owed multiple people (Lisa, Jim, Yahtzee, ect.) including Extra Credits.
However, before the fundraiser or the incident happened- Portnow actually excused The Escapist with the delayed paycheck, saying how it's all good and everything's forgiven. That they can wait, for the paycheck. But after the fundraiser was when things heated up and suddenly Portnow demanded to keep all the money to themselves for their private indie studio instead of improving their own show. Please tell me how that's personal greed on the Escapist's part?
Perhaps it was in bad taste to not offer to repay the Escapist for the things it donated (although if EC had done so, they'd have every right to advertise that The Escapist had withdrawn it's support for the cause), but The Escapist had no rights to the money earned by the fundraiser. If I donate something to an auction, and it suddenly sells for more than I bargained for, I have no rights to the proceeds.
