The controls switch characters every 30 frames so they have to coordinate how to move and where to go.

Thank you. What would have happened if they didn't meet the incentive?

Is it just me or are this years incentives much higher than usual? $150k for Untitled Goose Game Any%, Doing Riven legit for Destiny was $50k, Through the Fire and Flames for Guitar Hero is $60k. Those seem a bit high for what they are.

They are trying to push for the unrealistic 'every year gets more money than the past'.

Eventually it's gonna fucking burn them if it hasn't already.

Yeah pretty soon almost no incentives are going to get met. Links Awakening is $400,000? What the fuck?

This is why a bunch of nerds who started the event very informally years ago should not be the ones in charge of it for real anymore. Creative consultants/directors only, let pros organize it.

You have it completely wrong. The reason why it's so bad now is because the main people in charge stopped caring about it just being a fun event for speed running and raising money, now it's all about money. Anything that hurts their chances of making money is instantly banned. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people behind the scenes are already charity veterans who know how to milk the system as much as possible. If it was all them then it would be even more corporatized and lifeless than it already is.

Theres been a lot of theories about the GDQ company the past few years once it got really big.

Mike Uyama gave up any control apparently to professionals. He pockets a salary keeps quiet and appears every now and then as a hype man.

As others have stated a lot of runners were banned or not asked to come back for numerous reasons. Or they were asked to drop their personality to become more family orientated and stoic.

Then another behind the scenes "issue" is that since becoming far more PC they have overlooked better runners in turn to allow others to be more presented.

I mean, the point of charity events is to generate money. Which is what they do. The problem is how credible is it anymore and how many people are just donating their time now? There also appears to be some disagreement on what charity they use.

Also there is tons of drama at the event itself. Between drugs, parties, alcohol, sexual assaults, infidelity and a host of other problems.
