Since most people seem to be making incorrect analogies of the OGN/SpoTV situation, here's my attempt:



Dave owns a donut shop that has been in business for many years, called Dave's Donuts. One day, Donut Corp. offers Dave some new, high quality ingredients with which to make donuts, but Dave can only receive these ingredients from Donut Corp. and has to develop a new recipe himself to make them taste great. Dave decides to use the Donut Corp. ingredients and spends many years applying his donut-making expertise to creating an innovative new recipe for his brand, Dave's Donuts. Dave's Donuts become immensely popular, at which time Donut Corp. steps in with their friend, Al. Donut Corp. tells Dave that Al will now also be making 50% of Dave's Donuts from Al's own, separate store. While Al has some experience making donuts, Al has much less than Dave and, moreover, doesn't have Dave's recipe. Al and Dave now must share the same Donut Corp. ingredients to make Dave's Donuts, and they can't make more donuts than Dave did by himself previously since Donut Corp. wants to keep the market at the same level.



Dave now must decide if he wants to keep making Dave's Donuts since he can't control the quality or consistency of half the brand he built. His other option is to stop using the great Donut Corp. ingredients and try and create a whole new recipe from scratch while letting Al keep the Dave's Donuts brand he started.



I think this analogy better portrays why OGN is having trouble with the splitting of the league with SpoTV.
