Resolution does not matter, the resolution of the free viewing is fine. I recomend that GOM produce a DVD at the end of the season that can be downloaded and burned out with high resolution. The $50 (I recomend $19.99) subscription allows users to download that DVD. That is when resolution matters. DVD can be controlled to show brackets and different matches through the DVD menu. Include special sections in the DVD that are not acessible to regular subscribers/free accounts. If they are bold, they can completely stop their free streaming with commentary from Tasteless. Force users a minimum $9.99-14.99 subscription that does not include DVD at the end of the season, rather just a high resolution account option. However, I hope they remember that Korean SC in the foreign community is built on the foundation of free vods and copyright infrignment (TL vod server). GOMtv, you guys need to get an analyst to put all the info onto paper before you throw out a price point or start to monetize an operation. Now, if you did hire an analyst, he/she wrote a report, and recomended this plan. Fire that fuck. | ||

I'm amazed at the night and day difference of youtube quality vods from 09 to 07. Terrible price for the services offered imo. | ||

Either their cost structure requires a set amount of users to buy at $50 (to stay alive) or they are just really bad at pricing their shit. DRM is fucken retarted, all they are doing is hurting their case for subscription. Artosis should be brought on board to talk about more technical and strategical points of the games.

Sometimes i read a post and agree with it entirely - rather than repeat what he said, i will just nod in agreement. I can't understand under what kind of business model 50$ is acceptable for market penetration when your target audience is 17-25 poor college students. Theres other ways to monitize this than flat out charging for "high res" (a 640x480 screen and colour palatte from 1998? lol). Oh god i just realized you can't watch the VOD's after a certain date....lol come on ~_~. | ||

Premium members get to ask Tasteless questions that will be answered on air. He picks 5-10 and answers them elaborately during dead time or before another match begins. An example would be WHY DID FLASH FD ON MAP Y INSTEAD OF SIEGE EXPAND and Tasteless would break it down in a 3 minute max bit with graphs and data. He could even ask Flash himself and include the answer in his explanation. This is pretty easy to do and adds quality content to the broadcast while giving premium members a perk. Premium members get games that weren't broadcast during the early stages of the tournament. Record these games (with no added production or commentary to keep costs low. It could even be a replay) and make the VODs available only to premium members. Contact community commentators like Moletrap, Klazart, etc. and let them commentate on them. Cheap way to involve the community, add a ton of value and make it unique from standard users. I'm sure there are much better ideas. Gretech didn't think this through. There's not enough value for something priced so high. | ||

Terrible price for the services offered imo. should watch a few VODs from 2001 and compare the quality lol i'd probably pay a one time $50 fee for this as is, otherwise they'd have to add a bunch of stuff for me to even THINK about $50 a season, especially if i can't watch the VODs whenever i want. is this only for non-koreans? | ||
