Nope. Actually think before post please. Using this as a marketing ploy, drawing the rage from so many users then having to reimburse them, etc. is so bad, I don't know why you would even come up with that idea.

Um. Seeing as there's absolutely no evidence that this was a planned stunt by GOM as opposed to a mistake, it's sort of malicious to claim that it was a stunt.

Indeed. Awful quality, but at least it's free now, which is the correct price for the pixellated mess.

Next point of contention for shitstorm of complaining: 720p plz.

How good are the streams? Like the 360/480p on youtube?

Will probably buy a premium pass now (as I'm sure is the case for a LOT of people). This is basic economics; don't know how they didn't realise this would happen in the first place, but at least they've made a good move here.

They're basically the same quality as a well set up stream on livestream.com

And of course the real irony here is that they'll probably make about 10x more money this way than they would have if they'd kept the paid-only approach.

Well, good for GOM for coming around sooner rather than later. Hopefully, they can get the rest of the nonsense with Kespa, MBC, and OGN fixed up, too.

I'm glad they rethought the policy, but I'm still concerned that they thought it was a good idea in the first place. Hopefully the stream quality is watchable b/c other wise it's just like having a tasteless/artosis soundtrack to a moving blur.

I will be watching now though!! TLO FIGHTING!!

Thank you GOM! This is a much better starting point. I'm sure as time goes on you can expand your offering at a variety of price points!

"Oh look, that pixel just casted a psi storm, now we know that was a HT all along!"

What's the policy of restreams? Will anyone buying the premium stream be allowed/is willing to restream to us, the poor?
