EPTMy question to the community is will you purchase the stream and or the vods? Why or why not.
I personally felt that this poll should get more attention instead of getting buried in the official thread.

I would get the paid stream if it meant no commercials. Obviously this is not the case - funny that OGN's free stream will be higher bitrate too 0_o

I feel the same. The money is next to meaningless at this point for me, but the real problem is two-fold:
- I have no assurance that the stream isn't going to be a disaster with T&A sitting in a closet and having tons of buffering issues.
- I feel so spiteful that GOM thinks this is acceptable that I wouldn't even pay $1.00 at this point.

For whatever reason, I feel way more likely to buy an HQ stream if there is a free LQ stream. It feels moreso like an upgrade and in a sense a donation to support something you like.
Having to straight up pay for a stream is a sure way to make sure I (and evidently about 600 other people right now) won't pay.

You're right not everyone wastes money on (awful? I dunno about that) games - but I'm just saying that as a gamer and what I spend my gaming dollars on... this equates to a better deal than me buying that $60 game that I'll only get 8 hours out of. When it comes to gaming, I look at it like this:
$ SPENT vs TIME PLAYED
If I spent 8 hours playing a $60 game, then I basically spent $7.50 an hour to play.
Let's say that GOMtv does manage to show 150 games and I buy the LIVE package only (this of course assuming the streaming technology works and I'm getting what I paid for) for $20. That equates to $0.13 per game I watch. That's not a bad deal.
Now realistically will I get up for every single game or be able to watch them? Probably not, so let's throw the VOD cost on there too...so now $50 total. So to enjoy every single game whether it's LIVE or VOD, I would be paying a cost of $0.33 per game.
NOW AGAIN this all depends on whether or not the service is actually worth the money... but if I make the assumption that it's viewable... that doesn't seem too bad at all.
And if the Chocolate bar let me eat off it for a month... Maybe $50 isn't so bad for that bar? I guess it's not much different than paying for something in installments vs. one lump sum.
