i'm really happy that with such a split in the community BW nerds/SC2 nerds. Zerg tears, Terran cheers etc. we have all united against this clearly bullshit move.

<3 the community sometimes.

This becomes more and more ridiculous with everyday and more analogies being drawn via other sports, other leagues etc.

Still sucks as GSL won't be as huge as it should be, but I'm glad the community has rallied. Nobody, should buy the stream.

I had a feeling they were going to nickel-and-dime people, but 50 bucks? That's just absurd.

A better poll idea would be Yes/No and a few other price options. That way we'd actually generate some useful data. Seems to be a lot of "$10 for both" or "50 is too much".

I'm probably going to end up getting just the vods because I think it'll be worth it for the entertainment value. Live isn't a big deal to me because they're broadcast at a terrible time for me. Gom season 2/3 were frequently showing up late-morning EST.

I believe the reason in Korea its free (makes money through advertisement to be exact) and here they charge is because they already have the software and advertisers ready in Korea, while here they did not have the time to get all that ready. Hopefully in the future they will move to an adds based model here like in Korea.

get ustream to spread freestream. give HQ option for XX$.


almost zero cost , easily 50k+ viewers(which is good for them,sc2 and creates more opportunity for adds), easy profit from HQ buyers



its at this point its less about me paying or not(and i wont for many reasons) but about the missed opportunity. this couldve been the start of one of the biggest things in the esports world. now they will fail, people will pirate the shit outta them and they will decide foreign market isnt worth it because they have no options anymore (how do you get sponsors when your first season has 250 legit viewers?).

Easy solution: just stick to watching all the other "free to watch" tournaments.

We should thank GOM for freeing up a few more hours of our lives ...

It's a shame that the closest thing to potentially lasting SC2 play is starting off so poorly.
Not that I like SC2, but wow it probably sucks.

If it was at least near some margin of a reasonable price.. MAYBE.. But it's a retarded price, and not justifiable for the product provided.

They're trying to milk dollars out of dimes..

No chance in hell; would have liked to watch it, but what they are trying to pull off is laughable at best.

Nope. I'll watch a free re-stream if I can, but if not I won't be too upset. It's ridiculous to charge for a low-quality stream that's probably going to lag and crash all day anyway.

this is such an epic fail move from gomtv...it really blows my mind.

what drugs do you have to take to make yourself believe coming up with a pay-only policy one week before the broadcasts start is a good idea? seriously?
and then exceeding the price by so much to every thing ever done in this genre?

i am sorry for you both, tasteless and artosis! <3

hopefully the drugs wear off soon and someone will come to their senses...

ps: and i payed/chipped in for various streams before and am currently having an esl subscription

So you're suggesting that the current poll doesn't generate useful data for Gretech?
LOL.
