Are you suggesting that it is common practice for companies to pay for a certain character to win in an online "battle-to-the-death" web series? Because I'm calling bullshit on that. No other battles have such suspicious circumstances of release as this (apart from Terminator VS Robocop, which came out at the same time as both the Robocop reboot and initial announcement of Terminator Genisys, making it hard to accuse anyone of foul play there). The only reason Double Helix would do it is because they are a relatively unknown company who are savvy enough to know that it would serve as good exposure to have a character from a franchise they were working on to be shown to be superior to another well-known character from a rival franchise. Hence, money.

But for money to be given to Screwattack as general practice? I don't buy that, and I'd like to see you provide some evidence of your own to indicate that that is be the case.
