Uutisoimme viikko sitten Own3d.tv:n aikovan lopettaa toimintansa talousongelmien vuoksi. Tuo päivä on edessä tänään. Sitkeästä taistelusta ja myyntiyrityksistä huolimatta taloutta ei ole saatu kuntoon, ja paras jäljellä olevista ratkaisuista on sulkea sivusto.
Vuodesta 2009 lähtien toiminut palvelu oli ensimmäinen pelkästään pelaajille ja eSportsiin suunnattu striimaussivusto. Sen kautta pelaamistaan on lähettänyt useita suuria nimiä kuten Athene, Curse, SKGaming ja joinDOTA. Own3din lopettaminen jättää suuren aukon ja nostaa Twitch.tv:n käytännössä monopoliasemaan.

Dear gamers, dear own3D community,
own3D and its management, having evaluated the future of own3D, have decided to cease operations on January 31st, 2013.
As the first livestreaming portal for gamers own3D had a turbulent start with unexpected growth. We have tried to drive the company into profitability but due to the capital intensive nature of our industry and increasing competition, we have not been able to reach it despite our best efforts.
This is a difficult decision for all of us at own3D. However, after much deliberation this seems to be the best course of action despite the impact it will have on all the employees, clients and partners who helped build this business.
We are grateful for your support as our pioneering ride comes to an end. The own3D team has always aspired to provide the gaming community with the best tools for sharing their gaming experiences and growing their projects. We therefore hope that you have enjoyed watching a few epics over the years.
The day has almost arrived when professional gamers are as recognized as other athletes. We hope to have shown what is possible for the future of eSport and competitive gaming.
The gaming revolution will not be televised - it will be streamed.

Btw, jos teillä on jotain videoita tallessa Own3dissa, jotka haluatte säästää. Olisi aika niiden pelastukselle NYT, sillä ne lakkaavat toimimasta tämän päivän sisällä tjms.
