Flavor, perhaps? ;3

I voted "no" without even thinking about it. Blizzard and GOMtv are both insane and I really hope people realize that.

Of course 90% of people will not pay to watch a stream of players who are for the most part unknown to us. There are so many more tournaments that it doesnt really sadden me to not get to watch this one

I would absolutely not play for the entire season, nor the VODs in a million years.

Now, if the semi-finals and finals have some serious hype to them, like two of the ultra big names, or some new, up-and-comer, then I might consider it, although it'd still be ridiculous to stay up for that shit.

I really think GOM.Tv is fucking up on this one if they decide to go through with this charge. at least offer VODs/ live games for free in low but watchable quality, and offer HD streams, behind the scenes footage, interviews, tips, etc. for people who would be willing to pay for that.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

Public outcry has worked in the past (rarely) with Blizzard just look at real ID shit. I think maybe, just maybe if they realize they are likely to lose 90% of there viewers they might change their minds on this. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Either way there are always "alternate" methods of watching this without paying a cent to these greedy bastards.

No, not only is it way too expensive, but they charged other people 50 bucks for a "premium stream" and promised "premium users" extra content that NEVER CAME. Very very disappointing.

Why did I drop $90 bucks on this game (that's right folks SC2 is $90 is Australia!) and now have to pay more money to watch others play a game I already own? I love the game and I love watching it, but shit man I can turn on free to air TV and watch professionals that are paid millions of dollars play sport, FOR FREE. Can someone source what Blizzard are smoking please, cuz I sure as hell want some.

Dude wtf, i think buying season tickets to the NFL, or a ufc match on tv or payper view, whichever the case is fucking cheaper... they cant be serious something like 19.99 would give them a much higher viewer addience

A recent Team Liquid poll quizzed SC2 Players about their age. Some 25% of people are within the 18-24 bracket. Some 12% are younger. Only About 20% of people are 24+. SO are you telling me that Blizzard implementing a pay per view system is a good thing for their target audience. Imagine asking your parents for more pocket money so you can WATCH a game being paid! I remember when I was younger it was hard enough to get mum to BUY me the fucking game. Blizzard is alienating its fan base, and driving people away.
