GOM has caved in to the massive amount of complaints that it received over the past few days. Recently, everyone who bought a GOM Premium Ticket received a message detailing a new pricing structure for GOMTV material.

Currently, a low quality stream will be provided during live matches. A combined package of VODs and a HQ stream can be purchased for $20 total.

The text of the letter sent to purchasers of the old GOM Premium Ticket follows.

Dear our valued user,

This is GOMtv.net Support Team.
We’ve found you purchased Season Live ticket($19.95) via Paypal and we are sending this email to inform you very important issues.
We are sorry to say this, however, we would like to let you know this information as soon as possible.

As you know, we do not have free streaming service on GOMtv.net.
Since our service has been opened to public, lots of e-sports fans have requested for the free streaming service.
We’ve thought this issue over for the last few days and we’ve decided to release the free service for the users.

Therefore, we will service 1 season premium ticket which includes VOD service and Premium Live service, and the price will be $19.95.
With premium ticket, you can watch High Quality(500K) streaming live matches and VODs.
Free service is the Standard Quality(below 250K) streaming live only, with no VODs.

You can ask a refund if you are not happy with this new premium service.
However, if you keep your purchase, we will reward you the premium ticket for 3 pre-seasons which is valid for all season in this year.

Please reply to this email if you want to refund your VOD ticket before the first live broadcasting starts(at 7pm KST).
Otherwise, we will consider that you keep your purchase and accept the premium service for 3 pre-seasons.

Again, thank you for your purchase.

Sincerely,
GOMtv.net Support Team

This was no doubt a good move from GOM
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Wow. I didn't expect this to happen in a million years.

Thank you so much GOM. <3

And the funny thing is, I think I've literally just went from NOT paying or watching, to both paying AND watching. $20 for the whole deal is so much more fair.
