St3MoR Spain3256 Posts February 22 2012 20:41 GMT #241 according to this poll MLG will get from TL over 40k $ roughly half of it coming from customers who arent even sure about the fair price of the service offered, and would rather have this than "possibly" more while keeping people happy. Sad, and this numbers are only from TL, more communities out there that would probably show not very different results % wise. 8.95 mlg, i'm ok with you trying, but I feel you should rethink this for the next event, before you lose (more) supporters.

Blossom United Kingdom87 Posts February 23 2012 01:55 GMT #243 I am very disapointed with the move by MLG. I've been a MLG fan for years (back to Halo 2) and I didn't mind buying silver membership when that came out. My computer isn't even good enough to run higher quality streaming but I enjoy the content a lot and wanted to give something back. But, there's a limit. I think it is horrible that you ask people to buy subscriptions and then run extra content behind that which the subscribers still have to pay for. Especially 20 bucks? That's way to high of a price. On a side note: We all talk about "expanding esports", etc... but MLG going in the opposite direction. We want everybody to watch the content and let them try it out. I've had friends over to watch MLG events previously and some have immediately gone out to buy the game- others haven't. My point is this: how can we expect to "expand" esports when the content is inaccessible to those that simply want to view the game?. One of the first times I ever watched MLG I just randomly went on the site on day and was fascinated by the live event. This is where other streams exceed MLG. So, unfortunately, I won't be watching next weekends show and I'll probably unsubscribe from my silver membership.

With new concept of MLG, spectators pay simply the players! I cant imagine that an organization as the MLG have no sponsor such as one travel company, food company drink, hotel, furnitures pc,...,...,.. Make a trip has Wall Street, they know how to grow some money.. and make all world in the bread soup..

Mambo Denmark1338 Posts February 23 2012 11:06 GMT #248 To be honest i see the value of the 20$ for such a stacked tournament. MLG has proven (after several faults) that they can provide polished content. If this event had a free stream i would watch this over ASUS ROG for sure (i would prolly watch both), just because of the players in it. But since it is ppv and since i havent got loads of cash atm im gonna "settle" for ASUS ROG. I think tho they should have priced it at 10$ but thats just me.

ydeer1993 United Kingdom569 Posts February 23 2012 19:15 GMT #249 day2 i bet the price drops to 5/10$ because not enough bought it and everyone watching ASUS

Ampster 31 Posts February 28 2012 11:04 GMT #251 I'm not against or for the MLG's PPV model. I think its good that they're trying out something and having more models in existence in the Esports industry is definitely better having less. I guess time will tell whether it is a viable model or not in the long run. Personally, I like the model of having a free stream option with ads more, I like having more options provided than less. I feel the model is more accessible and keeps everyone happy. •Players getting the exposure they needed •Premium viewers getting additional contents (behind the scenes, player coverage, post-games analysis sessions, etc) and special features (stream viewing customization and features) •Free viewers being able to watch
