What i justify is worth paying fir isnt the same as everyone else. Im sure ifthey decide to offer a subscription, it will be worth it to a good amount of people or else they wouldnt offer it.

Wait and see ffs instead of whining and calling them selfish when they aren't in the least. If you don't want extra content then don't pay for it. Since you obviously don't then stop clogging the forums with your rants about how terrible they are and your horrible examples of unsimilar situations.

Is it just me or are people involved in the SC2 scene starting to get a little greedy. Donations? What would this money be going towards? Their pockets? You guys have a job, you are paid a salary.
How much different is this then a high paid lawyer going and standing on a street corner begging for money even though he doesn't need it, he just wants more Because these guys arent paid like a high paid lawyer. Obviously not, but they aren't homeless either. They made the decision to sign the contract. Can you not see that people could be taken advantage of just to line their pockets? Geoff said himselft they aren't starving. Pretty sure he isn't paying the mortgage in the house he lives in. They're basically saying "hey you don't have to give us money, but we won't say no if you do" That is greed. Ah well, I could see where there going with this. Lets make as much as we can now before it's too late. And I don't mean when the e-sports bubble burts, I mean when they are replaced by higher calliber players 2 years down the road and the contract extension is no longer being offered.
Also that is not greed. Greed would be making us pay for it. And I didn't realize you were an esports fortune teller so glad I now know that all these people will be irrelevant in the scene.

As long as non-subscribers get the same content what does it matter? I mean personally I would never be inclined to "help out" someone who makes $100/hr chatting up fans on skype, but if people want to then I don't see how you can argue against having the option to give that monetary support.

Maybe if you buy a subscription Artosis will think twice before banning you from the chat lol. Of course they will try and provide extra content to those that pay, but I can't see what that might be. I hope they don't mess around with the stream quality so that only the subscribers have access to HD. That would suck indeed.
|
yeah Tyler is so sweet you gotta see him in HD! :D
yeah well I'd be really pissed if they decide to turn down the audio quality, but that is also not really good most times...

JP said in the poll that nothing changes, its just gonna be added content/something.
|
I would subscribe for an independent show, but not for an MLG show.
|
subscription may be good IF and only IF the revenue goes to make the show better, or to the hosts' (note the S') pockets, not only JP. I will subscribe if the content is compelling but most likely i would not due to me not being able to watch live most of the time

Some stuff that I can talk about:
1) Still no date for S3 yet. Sooner then later -- no one wants to get started more than I do
2) We will be moving the time / day of the to an earlier timeslot (to help gain a European audience and I hate being up at 3am editing / uploading). I'm making sure this does not coincide with any other shows and works with everyone schedule, AKA its fucking near impossible ^^
3) There were some conversations that were poorly followed up on by myself and tweeting-while-under-the-influence on New Years Eve -- no one should be leaving the show (sorry tt)
4) The first show of the year most likely will include a visit from the NYC office. What for? Use your imaginations

As a community, we can only assume Mia Rose has moved to NYC and will become a new pillar of the show.

yay!
Other positive side effect could be that Day[9] doesn't have to leave mid show?

Few, I was very concerned Artosis was gonna leave the show.

Well with the new timeslot he may be forced to :/
I'll still be happy to watch the show live or the day after rather than 2 days after like its been for most of 2011.
With a timeslot suited for eu audience we can easily break 40k live viewers if not more.

I thought the reason that they started the show so late was because it started after the day9 daily

Tbh I much rather have Day9 for the entire show rather than Artosis. Day9 always seem to listen to the arguments and be part of the ongoing discussion. While Artosis on the other hand seem to have a laundry list of things he thinks are more important than listening or engaging in discussion during SOTG. It's not for nothing that 'Artosis not listening' was part of the drunken state of the game rules. Most stuff seem to breeze by him unless he is directly asked.

You gotta have Sundance, Adam, or Lee on the first episode of 2012 To talk about the new MLG season of course.
