Unless you're into reinforcing negative habits, then sure, pay 100 times over. Most people, however, look for value in where they put their money. Outside of necessities, people look for luxury, convenience and investment. Given the majority of people that attended and tried to watch, they didn't get any of that. | ||

"You deserve better than this"... How more cheesy can you get, it really bothers me because it seems to shut people up. It's like having an arguement with someone and they say "Yeah, you're right"... They are just trying to get off the hook and that's what I feel Sundance is trying to do. I don't expect a big change to anything in MLG besides stream crashing, and I really hope people will not be manipulated easily by what he says here. Everyone can make up bs - So until we see real improvement we shouldn't be thanking him at all. Remember in SotG how he was hyping everything so much, and even if the stream didn't fail it would still probably be the worst viewing experience from all major tournaments due to all the delays etc. | ||

On a side note: I'm pretty sure SC2 alone crashed their site and stream the first day!  | ||

Also does any one know the viewer numbers across the different games? the Halo stream was affect as well, if i recall | ||

If only you understood he's a CEO and it's his job. I don't think you exactly understand how big of a role money plays in society, regardless of whether it's good or bad, it's just a reality. | ||

Those feeds should say '..brought to you by Google' or '..IBM' or '...Verzion'. For starters, some of those companies would reduce their fees, some might even cover most of them just to have brand positioning. Secondly, that same brand positioning puts them 'on the hook' to make or break a fantastic product. | ||

Obviously the stream was the worst, but the downtime between games when the stream was actually working was also terrible. Hope they fix both for the next event. Otherwise I won't actually look forward to MLGs anymore, which would be a shame because it has such potential. At the same time, Id rather them work on one thing at a time. I dont really need them to show peoples face straight after the game, hell I dont even mind 30 minute delays if the stream is working perfectly fine. I think it would be better to close up one wound at a time rather then put a band-aid on all of them. Also, this isnt really something thats new to me. I guess its nice about the transparency but I believe they have been like this for a while, and anyone who thought MLG didnt care about their stream is a little foolishly thinking. But maybe Im giving too much credit lol. Personally Ill continue to show up, one day, just maybe one day it will be super awesomeness. | ||

Remember in SotG how he was hyping everything so much, and even if the stream didn't fail it would still probably be the worst viewing experience from all major tournaments due to all the delays etc. But what is the APPROPRIATE response for the stream issue? I mean, I get that everyone won't drink the kool-aid with this, but shit man.. what happened, happened--and at least they acknowledged the fact that it was less than ideal. Even IF the intentions of this statement was to "get them off the hook"--they still acknowledged the fact that something went wrong, which is much more than so many others would do. It's not the end of the world. Jesus Christ. MLG will learn from mistakes, and the event will get better. It will become better by at least acknowledging past mistakes. This was appropriate. | ||
