Hope the big bucks was worth losing so much viewers and sympathy for Sundance, especially now that IPL and Dreamhack have proven your nonsense about it not being sustainable false. And good luck to the buyers who are still screaming it was worth it despite the poor quality of games, I'm sure that if you say it enough times it will eventually come true. | ||

I'm not sure you can blame MLG for having "cliche" Terran dominance...

They most certainly have not. We are in the first half of 2012 - since when does just a few months from IPL's information release that they were in 6 figures in the red last year qualify as enough time to say their business model is sustainable?

Im really wondering if MLG even makes more money off of these PPV events as opposed to the free ones in terms of stream revenue, considering all the ad's they show at their normal events and all the people that have gold membership/ silver (divide the gold/silver membership costs by the amount of free events they hold or something) Edit: i guess they wont even collide that much actually, now that i think about it, if spring arena is starting at 11am PST today. | ||

I go to majorleaguegaming.com/live to view the arena and I get this message in my face: "To view the spring arena please go to majorleaguegaming.com/live". Thats where im at already. However, I did buy the Pass yesterday and I was able to watch by visiting that site. Now it seems like it wants to to pay again? Is there some way to even login??? There should be a LOGIN HERE button on majorleaguegaming.com/live shouldnt it?? | ||

Can't blame MLG for having a terran clusterfuck but it does simply not produce all that exciting games, unless you're a massive terran fan ofcourse, but most importantly, Dreamhack does not suffer from this. And you try to act like I'm crazy but after reading "This was really worth the money" a couple of times per page you know there's some mass delusion going on. If the best thing you can say is that it was worth the money it's pretty obvious you're dissapointed. | ||

If the best thing you can say is that it was worth the money it's pretty obvious you're dissapointed. Not sure where you're getting him saying that from but according to an interview he said that "[He] is very optimistic that together [with GOM?], we will be able to build a profitable and sustainable business for the long haul," not that it is sustainable. So I'd like to see where you're pulling your info from. | ||

You bring up a good point, there is free Dreamhack, free Diablo 3 beta, a game that many SC2 fans are interested in, Real Madrid - Barcelona game which for euros is massive and a UFC PPV consisting of a highly hyped up match But none of that is really MLGs fault, they just gotta beat to their own drum, even tough i am against them making it PPV, i still hope they do well and turn a good profit on it. | ||

Please get your facts updated. The thing he said about Gom was relevant to their relationship, i.e. making their joint ventures profitable, if you're trying to quote interviews give a link or at least interpret them correctly. | ||
