Of course I didn't expect anything different. | ||

This tournament might not last long, i dont see many people spending crazy ammounts of money to watch something that is free other places. Edit: Ok this is some raging. I can watch something like IEM or MLG for free and see Zerg get 5rax reapered or I can pay $50 a month. Sounds like a no brainer. Guess I'm gona have to wait for the Day9 daily to see any of these game. GG gom It's not $20 a month, it's $20 a season. | ||

You pay to watch professional sports(Sky-sports anyone?) etc...You dont pay to watch everygame just like in sc. You dont pay for every game you could possibly watch, its a step further to professional e-sports and its a company...why not charge money if you see this serious. No need to whine. Accept it or dont. You have a point but let me give you some lines to think over: - SC2 is not yet a professional sport, especially outside of Korea. In order to achieve popularity - being easy accessable is key - and a free low-qual stream did provide that on each platform available. - paying or not is not the point of most serious posts (excluding the rages), most would pay either for a premium stream next to the free option - or a stream package for a fairly reasonable price. - remember the key group playing SC2 is approx 18-25 which means mostly students, apprentices and workers at the very beginning of thei career - in that time 50$ for that limited content is just way too much FURTHERMORE due to the time zone most wont be abled to see every game live anyway which means the VOD packet is necessary and 30$ is still too much. - the "company" will make hell a lot of money with ads, a premium stream, live events and so on - there is no need to minimize the viewer count by pay-streaming - Gom is in an internet-related business, which is the kingdom of piracy and tech-nerds. They either burn a lot of money on fighting piracy-streaming or try to impress "honest" user that are willing to pay for good service (but are not willling to get raped by anti-piracy-premium shit like the music industry loves to do) In my opinion the most cost-effective solution is either a free-low-qual stream with premium option or at least a decrease on the costs by over 50%, anything else will result in fail on the side of Gom only. | ||

A $20 VOD ticket gets me... one month of access to videos so I can watch my computer in the dark? I should add that as a Red Sox fan the $20 ticket is about as rare as a unicorn, but most parks you can get not bad seats for $20... | ||

Accept it or dont. You don't pay for MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL. You don't pay for the Olympics or World Cup. You advertise and broadcast it free. IEM, MLG, and other eSports companies find a way to do this. Why can't GOMTV? | ||
