Fanatiq Innovates By Streaming Money Match With No Money and No Stream

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - AGE-Sponsored UMVC3 player Loren Riley, better known in the Fighting Game circles as Fanatiq, made history today by facilitating the very first high-stakes money match with no actual money, and thousands of interested fighting game fans almost witnessed this momentous achievement by watching the twitch.tv stream that didn't exist.

Public consensus seems to believe that lacking both the money and the stream is counter-productive to an exhibition which involves both money and streaming.  FGCNN correspondents at the scene reported that Fanatiq offered to allow BrokenTier to stream the match for a nominal fee, but the offer was declined on the grounds that only an idiot would pay to stream a matchup where Fanatiq was more free than an AOL CD in 1997.

Regardless, the money match concluded with Nemo as the victor.  FGCNN has received confirmation that, if a rematch were to occur in the future, Ellen Degeneres would reprise her role in Funding Nemo part 2.

What do you think?  Should gaming wagers involving money require actual money? Is it normal to throw your fans under the bus for some quick cash? Should AGE drop Fanatiq?  Let us know in the comments!
