Everyone seems to hilariously fail to understand the situation. Apply this to many things in life where revenue isn't generated at the consumer.

We want the shows to be reliable, when they are aired and when they are uploaded.
We want interesting guests, we want interesting topics, we want a well made show.
We want a good show so many people will watch it.

They want people to go to MLG.tv.
They want people to spread the show via word of mouth, social media and push MLG.
They want exposure to put announcements to a greater audience.
They want as many viewers as possible, so they try to make a good show.

Can't you see they co-exist? We, the audience, are indirectly funding and making it possible through viewer-ship. They want this, and they want to make attractive content for their site.

Should this mean people should critique it? Of course. Should this mean people should have expectations? Of course. Should this mean people either go over the top and throwing their proverbial poop around when those expectations aren't met (quality, guests, comments, time to upload)? No.

It's context. Never, either taking it to either extreme "OMFG WHERE IT IS JP U LAZY" or "guys stop complaining about getting FREE STUFF zomg", is ever a good thing. This is pretty much comparable through-out everything in life, and on the internet people like to jump to excessive conclusions and opinions.

You know what gets you what you want? Not looking like a complete moron and using your head. Vehemently taking one side too strongly and using pretty amazingly shocking analogies (BBC is public broadcasting, deriving revenue and funding through a license fee which totally changes the model it has for how and what demands they must fulfil and how broad the content they provide must be to encapsulate everyone, not just any demographic) is a pretty damn good way to get ignored.

Everyone has the fundamental right to be offended, shocked, disappointed, etc. But that's all it is, a right to feel that way. That right extends no further, your right to be upset never affects my right to do whatever it is that upset you (out of obvious legal/moral grounds).

TL;DR: Constructive criticism, well written complaints, vote with your viewership

It doesn't?
You can't make the connection between SOTG and free professional quality sodomy?
Maybe you aren't getting the sodomy you deserve.

well shit with that time, there really is no time for SOTG on friday.

From the MLG CoverItLive blog --
State of the Game won't be airing on the red/blue streams because those streams are controlled by the sat truck. Our two beta streams, however, are another story- and we will be streaming matches from Open Winners Round 3 and 4 there until those rounds are done. Go change into your pajamas and pour yourself your beverage of choice- this night is FAR FROM OVER.

I just ask, since when is Sotg entirely on MLGs Strings and since when is it restrained by Time weird.

It always has stricken me as a sort of JP Selfproduction with Guys who just want to talk about SC2.
it was never so dependent on time also, Episodes are getting shorter and shorter and feel a bit rushed.

anyway there is alot to still discuss, just 1 Point Stephanos Win over Korean is a Topic that definitly should not be forgotten.

No I don't think so. I think the streams will only be up to show the OWR3 and OWR4, not SoTG, I might be wrong.

Because everyone who would be in SOTG is at the event and it's kind of important to get some sleep when you're competing or working an event?

Well I mean, if it was not partnered with MLG, there wouldn't even be a chance of a show tonight. It's JP's show, so its his choice where he wants to take it, if he decided that SotG was going to be about My Little Pony instead of SC, so be it. If you don't like the show after MLG got involved, I guess don't listen. But it would be weird, since it hasn't really changed much, except for adding an additional host, which will of course mean that they will spend more time talking about one subject.
