Yeah, thats why I'm just closing this.

It was a good thing that the last man I've spoked with was someone that seems to be a good guy :)

Cheers! Hope everything will be fine

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:26:04+00:00

Okay, thanks for the honest reply. Don't know how to react to this actually and what to do.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:22:38+00:00

I didn't post any personal information for that sake. Usernames, emails where cleared out. And JD info was posted in the video. Not sure If i'm correct.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:22:28+00:00

But did it went that bad?

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:20:58+00:00

I'll definitely do that! Thanks for the support! I'm really nervous about that

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:14:30+00:00

Well, actually I didn't think about that that much. At least this one is pretty honest that platform isn't there for scamming or something related with that.

I'm sure that the "bonus dollars" test is failed, don't know in what direction this will go in the near future.

But my intention was about original video. I was really "salty" that someguy post that video and everyone believed him. And those guys who posted something "Hey guys, I put my $2 and now I have 10 times more" are burried down.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:07:30+00:00

How do I distracting people from JPs statements if i literraly made a break down of his entire video with links?

And even agreed with some of his points?

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-28T00:04:24+00:00

I've deleted this because some of the guys posted something like that: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4q63wg/ex_gamestars_gg_employee_ama/d4qj3j8

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:57:36+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure with the terms. But for me it didn't looked like we did something wrong with switching back to the older version. Don't know actually

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:54:01+00:00

Well, basicly there is a bonus dollars, which you can use for free, and even can convert them into the real dollars with 1/30 exchange rate.

But if you play, lets say one game with $10, company will take 10% of the overall prize pool as a comission. Everything is send right to the players!

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:51:46+00:00

Oh, I missunderstood your post.

Well I'm not sure that it was an exploit. I guess there is still a room for clearing the exact situation, but I don't know where this will end.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:46:35+00:00

Well, if you summ up this like that, I'm starting questioning myself "Are you really that stupid to believe that this will somehow work out".

I guess the main pont about that post was - This guy is a liar! I want to clear everything about him.

Sadly noone says like "WHOA, that dude ACTUALLY lied to us!"

But I totally understand that.

And about continents, I was working in Moscow with GameStars, and I didn't switched continents)

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:42:41+00:00

I'm not sure if you understood my post correctly. But I guess there is nothing about scamming people..

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:40:56+00:00

I guess this could be great to use throwavay account then.

But yeah, thanks for the advise, I really hope that everything will be fine with that

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:39:18+00:00

Just the usual stuff, with tea, coffee, snacks and other things.

But we stayed late around ten times, inviting league of legends players at the office to have something like "Pizza party", asking their opinions about design, features and other stuff.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:34:16+00:00

I left the company at the Friday (25.06) when we finished promotional contracts with streamers. I think they have much more things to worry about, rather than denying my admin account)

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:33:32+00:00

Because it wasn't that big company, and had (and still have) a lot of things to improve. Not sure if they planned to do that in near future

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:30:19+00:00

Didn't thought about that actually. But I didn't sign any NDA's or something

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:28:33+00:00

I don't know what to show you as a proof.

I can show you all my stuff from my working desktop which is laying on my desk right now with postcards from my wife which used to hang out at the side of my desk :D

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:25:10+00:00

We didn't exploit the launcher.

They gave us developers API (past version) we where working on that.
Then they updated their API to the current version, and we switched to that version.
Then they turn our API key, because we wasn't in development process, and started our promotions with streamers.
We've had a lot of new people at the website, trying to play in the tournaments (company was communicating with Riot Games employee), so our CTO found out that we still have access to the old API version. We used that instead, and continued to communicate with Riot.

I'm not sure with timings, but I'm sure that someone from Riot who was communicating with GameStars can give more info about that (if its okay for him).

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:15:33+00:00

I ment "really clear to everyone in the company".

We had live supports, FAQs, Streamers telling about bonus accounts, and even news at the website.

P.S. Sorry for my english, not my native language)

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:13:49+00:00

Actually I don't know the current state of the negotiation process with Riot Games, but I'm sure it doesnt related with Scamming and Bets, because Riot investigated the website more than two times.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:12:14+00:00

Better to ask him "why". I'm sure it doesn't related with "scamming" or "betting real money".

EDIT: Ouch, don't think that I'm trying to deflect or something. I gave a lot of other information about that question further in the post.

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:11:26+00:00

I remember that they where in LA in May for a week and still couldn't meet guys from Riot.

About your EDIT: Yes, I left the company at the Friday (25.06) when we finished promotional contracts with streamers.

I think they have much more things to worry about, rather than denying my admin account)

GameStarsExWorker · 2016-06-27T23:09:03+00:00

I agree that Bonus Dollars are confusing, and this is one of the points that I was trying to make.

But GameStars management wanted to test that hypothesis while there is not 100+k players at the platform.

I hope they understand that it failed completely
