Downloadable replays were my favourite part about MLG events, it's a shame they decided to do take that option away, but ultimately it's their decision. I'm just glad I decided to wait and see how Anaheim goes before purchasing a membership. | ||

Didn't you have fun downloading the replays and looking at all the little things missed in the casts? Or watching the matches from the player cam? Maybe I'm being a dork, but I found it quite magical and will definitely miss it. | ||

But not releasing afterwards because the same players will be at future MLGs? If someone plans in advance to harass specific players, they can find replays of any pro player online with 0 effort. This won't deter them or 'reduce risk' in any way.Every pro gamer at MLG has replays released. This is a silly response man. Please respect the internet more than THAT because a determined troll can bypass this step extremely easily. This move by MLG is punishing the fans more than anything. It does not prevent this style of attack on the event. This is punishing 99.99% of your loyal fans to try and stop the 0.01% who are going to do this crap one way or the other. The 'monetizing content' angle is the only one that makes sense, which is dissapointing if that's the case. | ||

Of course there are others who do like to and for them, this is probably an important issue. | ||

Being a terran player, I'm going to miss MVP and the SlayerS' terran replays the most. Being able to those reps is an invaluable learning experience. Providing the reps to some YouTube commentators with no game knowledge or insight is not a substitute. | ||

If you don't want to release replays I'm fine with that, but you didn't have to lie about it. it's not just that they lied about it, it's that they think we're stupid enough to not ask the most simple question ever. | ||

The security concerns are completely alleviated by releasing the replays after the event. If the players are spammed after the event while playing at home that is not MLG's fault. It is clearly Blizzards fault. Every single player who has their games casted already recieve messages all the time, their BNet IDs were bruteforced long ago. So arguing that you wish to prevent security concerns is nothing short of bullshit. The number of people who may not buy a HD pass because replays are not available FAR outweighs the number of people who would not buy a HD pass even if replays were available. This is evidenced by the fact that the announcement came after the event had started. Again, trying to argue to the contrary on this is pure bullshit. The Koreans don't want the replays released, and you cant directly monetize the replays for MLG. The truth shall set you free. | ||

Doesn't need commentary or anything. Its not an ideal situation, but it is a compromise. It gets around the reasons they have listed for not releasing the replays, and it would at least partially satisfy the majority of the player base. They could even make them only available to paying members and therefore make money off it. | ||

"3) Modifying replay files (not reading them) is a violation of Blizzard's ToS. I maybe could get permission to do it, but there's a lot of legal issues tied up in that. We already know how to do it. But we'd have to check them all before releasing them." Hence I was thinking for other options, realistically they probably just don't want to release them because some players don't want their reps released and they won't make money off it either way. Sad day for the fans. | ||
