Well, shouldn’t things that can’t sell their stuff anymore fail?
In Denmark where I’m from, municipalities have grouped together to build open source software as a response to a market which fails to deliver the products we want.
The industry response has been lobbying the government and trying everything in courts because it’s viewed as “job theft”. Well, not all industry, some companies have figured out software as a service, open APIs and agile corporation is where it’s at, but the big old dogs are playing the blame game.
In 10 years the old dogs won’t be around, because just like the diamond industry, they ran out of things people wanted to buy.
I mean, you can blame millennials all you want, but the most watched sporting event in 2017 was still the CSGO finals featuring a Danish team. You either adapt or you disappear because the people who are into your aged ways are only going to continue dying.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoSource of stats on CSGO finals?
- jordo37 9y agoSeems like this was note quite true. CSGO finals had about 3m https://www.dexerto.com/news/e-league-csgo-major-breaks-viewing-records/25592 https://www.dexerto.com/news/e-league-csgo-major-breaks-view... The 2017 Superbowl as one example, had 114M. http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/06/media/super-bowl-ratings-patriots-falcons/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/06/media/super-bowl-ratings-pat...
- davemp 9y agoMaybe most watched in Denmark?
- phillc73 9y agoI was trying to find some global sporting event television audience figures for 2017, but haven't found a good consolidated single source. The UEFA Champions League final in 2016 attracted 350 million global viewers.[1] I am supposing the 2017 event wasn't too much less than this. The 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) final had 324 million viewers according to one source.

- Raffers 9y agoFor Dota2 TI finals there was over 10m+ watching, this is a combination of all live streams - https://esc.watch/tournaments/dota2/international-2017 https://esc.watch/tournaments/dota2/international-2017 It seems the stats for CS:GO (Concurrent viewers at least) is even lower - https://esc.watch/tournaments/csgo/eleague-major-2017 https://esc.watch/tournaments/csgo/eleague-major-2017
- eksemplar 9y agoMy source was the Danish subreddit. Turns out I was wrong though. It was the most watched in the age group of 15-39 year olds. Beating the Olympics but likely not our national soccer team which I haven’t been able to find numbers on. It had more than 90.000 viewers, or between 14 and 15% of the age group with 19% of the males in the age group watching.
- xorcist 9y agoReddit as a source. This is so meta. I love it.
