If you weren't aware, esports organisation Red Reserve hosted content creators in what they called the Red House, but now they've announced that they've released those in the house, a decision that they says was "paramount in our success moving forward."
Red Reserve also writes that they're aware there has been a lack of transparency, hence the statement is coming out, which has the following explanation:
"When the merger between Orbit Esports and Red Reserve occurred in February of 2017, both parties were delighted. Both parties saw the opportunity to flourish; Red would now have the ability to enter into the booming esports market and Orbit now had a strong fan-base and structure to support their esports teams. Operations ran smoothly for the first few months, teams were performing at a high-level, the creators were creating consistent content, working together, and growing. Sponsor interest started to rise and the future seemed bright."
"During the merger it was made very clear to these creators that they were no longer management of the company, they sold a high majority stake and would stay onboard solely as content creators and ambassadors of the brand. However, when sponsor revenue started to flow in, the relationship between specific creators and the company as a whole began to rot. Some of these creators seemed to have a sense of entitlement to the revenue coming into the company, stating that they're the ones that built it and that they are the only reason that it stands. Through the coming months support from them started to disappear, meetings began to be missed, messages ignored, and communications became essentially non-existent."
The statement goes on to say that the creators were given chances to stay involves with Red, including a management position for Formula - which saw him oversee streaming, content, bringing in new creators, and content schedule - but he didn't perform well, and "relationships with multiple sponsors were damaged due to the actions and noncompliance of all five content creators."
Due to these issues the gaps between the Red House and Red Reserve couldn't be bridged, and so his was the decision made moving forward. Do you agree with the decision?
