Well looking from GOM's perspective however getting this done through donations is alot better since they can advertise with a HQ stream and give potential viewers a nicer stream as to where a HQ stream that needs a subscription will not likely attract new people.
It's just weird how the GOM spends so much money on prize money and staff and equipment/studio and then cannot afford some streaming...
Now I know TL has got some 'rich' ppl, but the majority is just normal and it's rather sad to see them pay for something GOM should be paying for and GOM will have advantage of as well.
If it was something that GOM had absolutely no advantage of I could see the need of donations, or if there would be no commercials on this stream, but im afraid that is not the case and thus I see this as quite a bad move.
They they bring this stream for free is not really something they do out of charity or love for the fans, it's something they do because of exposure and because they think it will make them money on the long run.
Anyway enough drama i guess, I felt like expressing my opinion since this isnt the first time things are presented as "for the community" while in reality i doubt they really are -_-;
It's 1 dollar dude...
Just don't pay if you have such a problem, the regular stream quality is pretty good anyway.
You should actually read what im saying, it's their core business or close to it and they want their viewers to finance it, it's just rather weird...
I agree the regular stream is good, I like watching GOM ocasionally and I think it's a good initiative I just think it's rather weird they are asking for donations... I don't care if its 10 cents or 1 dollar (which is the minimum, not a standard as i understood) or 50 dollar, just the fact that they are asking for it is rather weird... -_-
