They are just going to watch it on Youtube like me. You guys should do some research because I'm pretty sure you've got it terribly wrong charging $50. For a start you lose all donations, and then 97%+ of your customer base won't pay. If the price was $8 you need 20%+ of your users to pay and you end up with more money overall. If Steam is anything to go by your sales would rocket. http://www.edge-online.com/features/valve-are-games-too-expensive | ||

When they announced this tournament I was like "well atleast some of the money is going to go into the cash prize for Valor" it didn't cross my mind that they would attempt to use this tournament to push their premium service in such an aggressive manner. I would donate $50 to TL in a second, but I'm quickly losing what little faith I had in gom. It can either be greed or stupidity on their part that makes them think anything they offer is worth $50 to me. I know it's a dead horse by now but this tournament has just reminded me how little I understand Gom | ||

If it is though, its stupid imo. I don't believe people would actually pay for this, and like the above poster points out, it creates negative feelings towards gom | ||

Obviously they know you can watch the VoDs, they're not stupid? But people wanna watch it Live, that's the whole point. JUST LIKE GOM SEASON 3. | ||

EDIT: Maybe that's a little harsh, but looking at some tournaments like TSL(with like 5 times the prize), or even SC2GG(Staff pays for prizes, free commentary), this just seems... yeah. | ||

I understand the frustration a lot of gamers are feeling about this, this brings up a great topic for a new Blog post hmmz... Due to timezones, I'm unable to really watch a lot of the "Live" castings on GOMTV, but as a premium subscriber I still will download the 2nd game in 'high quality' in a series while watching the first game in regular quality. By the time the first game is done I'll have the premium video downloaded, that's how I use GOM myself anyways... I think with StarCraft 2, premium real HD quality will be an even much more better buy. | ||

Unfortunately I feel the same way. GOM just seems to be a money vacuum lately and have definately alienated me as a fan with their ask for donations, and now these premium shenanigans. | ||
