I really don't mind this... I'll still keep both streams open and up the quality of the one i'm watching a game on. Besides, the only reason for leaving Red would be either a terribly boring matchup or a long break. With Tastosis on Blue it'd be a different story and this whole dilemma would upset me.

$10 is less than the price of a cheap lunch so, not gonna hear me complain about the lack of this particular 'feature'.

Ya but see Blizzard gets half that ad revenue, I bet MLG gets 100% of the revenue from selling HQ passes.

Good point.

So, buy 2! (Or just watch 2 in Medium like I'm going to do. I need space to have EVO stream up as well)

If I pay for HQ, I expect it on all their streams. This is pretty similar to "that wasn't an ad, that was a sponsor" from NASL.

So where do I get my voucher to upgrade my stream to HQ? I paid for the silver membership.

Try that - WP seem to have a solution.

And to the post above me there should be an email in your inbox.

It's to "stop account sharing" for the HD Access, pretty shitty that it stops you watching both streams at once.

Agreed. I understand MLG not wanting people to share accounts. They should rather have tied accounts to IP addresses, i.e. not allow an account to have multiple streams open via different IP addresses.

So normally mlg blows because of technical difficulties. This time they decided to screw us with terrible stream changes and broadcasting times that are unbearable for EU viewers.

This is pretty ridiculous. Please don't tell me they are so technically incompetent that they can't independently check your voucher for red and blue stream. Just make your voucher work for one red stream and for one blue stream. If you are afraid a pair of friends buy one pass to watch different streams you can also restrict voucher to one ip and one account.

If it is just a matter of quality I don't care that much as I will always focus on one stream, but if they start playing incredibly annoying hard-to-mute ads I will consider sending a mail asking for a refund.

It's rough but MLG would lose so much revenue from account sharing. As I see it now, most of this community wants everything for free, and have someone else foot the bill, which is pretty sad.

Can't have everything.

EDIT: If you can watch HQ, you can watch the VODS. Not like anyway can truly appreciate 2 games happening at the same time.

Well, with the pass you can just switch back and forth without ads right? Doesn't seem like a huge issue but a small inconvenience.

I don't think that's fair. They are a business, they don't want a ton of people sharing HD access. I wouldn't call that greedy.

I actually don't think they handled it all that well either, but I understand where they are coming from. They should allow each HD pass to have two streams active and no more than that. It does suck for the people who already bought the pass and now they aren't getting what they expected. I will still be getting one.
