Maybe we should blame Artosis and Tasteless, maybe their exorbitant fees is the true reason GOMTV needs to rake in the money from the foreigners. I sincerely hope that GOMTV will react to this outrage, if not then maybe Blizzard will tell GOMTV that they are alienating their fans this way. | ||

My point on keeping VODs stands, but you hypocrites can't say you want e-sports to succeed and then not pony up the cash. Sponsors, sponsors and sponsors, thats what makes sports big, not how much the viewers pay. And sponsors will not support the sport if no one is watching it. | ||

My point on keeping VODs stands, but you hypocrites can't say you want e-sports to succeed and then not pony up the cash. You hypocrites say you want Blizzard to crush KeSPA and then not pony up the cash. For all the other sports I enjoy I support it just by watching it for free. In those other sports, if you want to watch them you have to pay, unless you watch it illegally. So you can't really compare them. As many have said for SC2 atm, i can watch a free stream of Tournaments i.e. the GO4SC2 going on right now or watch a free stream of MLG and ESL. This difference is i can pay for HD if i want to. Which as others have said i feel far more willing to do that. Rather than GomTV forcing us to pay stupid prices for a new service with no quality guarantee You are wrong about having to pay to watch. I can pretty much mention any normal sport or esport thas been available for free to some extent | ||

Pretty sure I can legally watch football, hockey, baseball etc for free | ||

Obviously this is not the case - funny that OGN's free stream will be higher bitrate too 0_o they need to clarify the whole season thing. season = 1 year. ill pay $50 season = 6 months. maybe...(depending on the quality and lag on the stream) season = 1 month. gg. watch korean stream for free please | ||

Seems like my approximation of 1-1.5% or total potential watchers was really overestimated, I guess 0.5% would be more accurate. | ||

Gom never did this kind of thing before. I guess it's in their contract with Blizz. Blizz MADE them do it. Yes, because something bad has happened related to Starcraft, is MUST be Blizzard's fault. We have no evidence or rationale for thinking this, but that doesn't matter, because its Blizzard so EVERYTHING is their fault! Please. If you're going to make accusations like that, you're gonna have to provide some more evidence than "Blizzard is teh Satan!!1!" On the subject of the thread... No, no I will definitely NOT be paying that. And it strikes me as a poor business decision--why not offer up a lower quality stream, probably with ads, for free or at a significantly cheaper price point, then offer premium service with hd and no ads for those who are willing to pay? Well if they can sell some shity ponny for 25 or some stupid mappack for 15$. Why shouldnt they try to charge 20$ for a stream ? ![]() I dont like this at all and I will never pay money for this lol. So this is the shit why theyre killing PL and BW off ? rofl. Haven fun trying. Except the money goes to GOM, not Blizzard. Unless Blizzard is getting a significant cut of that $20, Blizzard's best interest would be for these streams to be free, because it provides more advertising for SC2. And I'm sure they'd rather have people buying $60 copies of SC2 rather than get a $5 or $10 cut (if they'd even get that much) from each stream buyer. You don't know that. In fact the reason the price is so exobitant may be because Blizz takes a huge cut. | ||

No way I'm gonna pay, I'll just watch the Korean stream or a restream of the English one. | ||
