GGL Sued by Game Hosting (29 comments)

( Major News: ESR)

Posted by TosspoT @ 05:32 CDT, 2 October 2009 - iMsg

Crossfire has broken the story of the latest gaming company to be owed significant money from another eSports organization, however this time someone has taken action!

Swedish based Game Server provider Game-Hosting have today completed the formalities on the first stage of taking GGL through court to procure some $40,000 owed to the company in unpaid bills. Game Hosting are owed the money following their hosting agreement with GGL that saw the company hosting the ClanBase.com website between January 06 and April 2008.

Eirik Pedersen of Game Hosting states:

We have finished legal proceedings against GGL and we won. GGL lost in Swedish courts and GGL is judged to pay us what they owe. Since GGL is a US company the Swedish ruling must now be transferred to US courts and enforced there. GGL has owed us money for over 1 year now and counting.

You can read the full statement and article on crossfire.nu.

Was simply pointing out that they've owned money for years.

> However unpaid bills are a problem that have plagued the GGL organisation for years with several other eSports organisations listing GGL owing money to a variety of teams. Such allegations are still levelled at the company today with amongst others Clanbase Eurocup CoD prizemoney still remaining unpaid according to players.

Damn, 40 thousand in rougly two years..I had no idea how much hosting costs. I know CB has lots of traffic (ALOT actually), but its still pretty expensive for a gaming organisation....

Is CB still in Dutch hands? I forgot the name of the owner..

CPL ruined esports. WSVG ruined esports. GGL is next in line. Shouldn't be hard to guess who's next after GGL.

Theres no agenda, I dont think other than this post you'll find other examples of negativity toward them as a company.
