Basically for 10 dollars You can watch all the game videos and extra videos of the season that you buy. Any of the VODs you can DL and watch for later views for offline. It seems they are also planning to stream with these Apps. or there is streaming.
It says All GOMTV GSL open purchasers can acccess all videos of this season.... not sure if this means if you bought a ticket that means this app is free somehow but thatd be cool!
I havent even bought a ticket for GomTV ( just stay up to watch it usually), so I wouldnt buy this especially since its 10 dollars but that doesnt mean the most hardcore enthusiasts shouldn't!
|
If I was able to use this for free because i bought the tickets for S2 and S3, sure, I'll test it.
Otherwise no thanks.
|
Wow they want $10 for something you already paid for? Such a stupid move on their part.
|
probably in s4 id rather have it on my iphone, i mean im not always going to be free to watch these live.
|
If it was 10 dollars for all current then I could see its worth... dont know why you would have seperate apps too...
|
As someone who can't view the stream because he is at work this is awesome definitely bought
|
Cool! Let us know how it is because it seems like there could be some extra stuff lol.
|
would be great if I had iPhone
|
So if you didn't book the HQ stream, for 10$ you can view all VODs from that season on your iPhone basically ?
|
If they fix the GomTV Player instead I'd be most grateful.
|
awesome news, will definitely get this once the live service has been applied 
|
Should be noted, they say the app is for the US region. They don't guarantee it will work/work well outside the US.
So us Japanese will have to wait a bit longer sigh.
|
10 dollars seems like a lot, but I guess if you didn't want to pay too much for stuff you wouldn't have an iPhone anyway.
|
Separate apps is dumb. It should all be 1 app and tied to your Gom account purchase history and season tickets.
|
Having paid for the gsl 2 and 3, I wont feel bad about pirating this
|
As a person who has to follow the GSL through the live report threads this is awesome for myself since I didn't get to see any of games previous seasons.
|
Did anyone buy this yet? I'd like to know how it is
|
O_O
10$ for an app that just allows me to access the games I've already purchased season tickets for is dumb 
|
I've already got Season 2 and 3 tickets.
Boneheaded move not to make it free for those who already have tickets.

I'm by no means an expert, but this would be more to do with Apple rather than Gom...
From my experiences, its relatively difficulty to get even a few free copies of your own apps to give away via the Itunes store (for example, to give away as prizes), so I imagine this would be especially difficult on the scale of the number of subscribers Gom would have.
Because apple control the store, and take a large portion of the revenue from app store purchases, theres no incentive for them to give away copies of an app they would be making money from otherwise.
|
you know, I wonder if the recent extreme slowdown on the gom US servers is a result of this app...depending on what server they are hosted on, VODs and interviews can take a reeeeaaally long time to load (sometimes 3x-10x the actual length of the VOD)

No, that's just plain wrong.
You could easily write the app to take into account season tickets and give it away for free. Apple would not care in the slightest.
Edit: In fact I'm kind of annoyed at GOM. This was a beautiful opportunity to exploit the App Store for profit and they completely fluffed it up.

How would you explain the multitudes of free apps available at any given moment?
I've been charged for the content once already, it would be nice to have a mobile player which is free and gives me access to what I've purchased or just charge a buck for it. Include an option to buy seasons for those who haven't already.
There's virtually no incentive to spend $10 on something giving me access on a tiny little screen to that which I can already get to from any computer with an internet connection and Flash.

Not exactly. If they wanted to make it so if you bought a season ticket you could watch VODs, but if you hadn't you had to spend $10 they would either have to do in-app purchasing (pain in the ass), or set it up so you had to buy a $10 season VOD ticket on GomTV and then they have to make it deal with authentication etc. Again, more work and a pain.
Making it a flat $10 is the easiest way of doing it, and making it retroactive isn't really possible on any sort of scale.

Making an app both paid and free if you already paid for a completely different non-Apple service, and making it purely paid or purely free are two entirely different things.

holy shit this is awesome. although i wont need it right now, i think in their future code-s starleagues im definitely going to buy this. i cant really stay up late every night and i cant watch all the vods in 1 sitting so downloading them and watching them gradually through out the day whenever i have time seems the most plausible way to get my sc2 fix. i love this idea.

It isn't about what's easy for the developer, it's what's easy for the consumer.
Having the app free and allowing you to login to your GOM account to access seasons that you've already paid for is simple for the user. Adding in-app purchasing for other seasons is also simple for the consumer. Therefore, the consumer buys more stuff and your extra effort (it isn't much extra effort) is paid for!
And of course making it retroactive is simple. You've already got the login server, you just write an API that the app can use to access the login server.

Awesome, but how about making GOM player available on OSX next?

I'm guessing you aren't a programmer, or done any sort of work with iPhone applications? Because what you're saying is ridiculous, if you think that's how it works. That's like the silly saying "The customer is always right" it's a great idea in theory, and absolutely meaningless in practice.

Random thing to note, you can just stream GSL through VLC without using GOM player if you're on OSX.

I'd just like to poke my head in here and draw attention to the application company Heosat owns by the name of 'The Little App Factory'. They create lots of useful applications from scratch for Macintosh products, including computer, iPad, and iPhone.
They are also the main sponsor of Team Liquid.
Check out the full list of their products here!

I'm quoting this so everyone sees that running your mouth can make you look like a complete idiot. Rest of your posting history is ok so spared from Disney land.
