I only bought the Silver pass so I could have HD streams and be able to throw fun SC2 parties at my place with my giant tele. If I'm reading this right.. $30 just to have access to HD video game streams is something that I exceeds my set aside esports budget. MLG has hinted at upcoming alternative subscriptions just for HD streams. I imagine they would be priced accordingly (cheaper) so you should be fine. | ||

Their stuff is reasonable and they put out the best tournament/content in the world outside of the GSL. People need more respect really. | ||

I suspect I've been a fan of theirs for longer than you have. Doesn't change the fact that selling a service which you then decide not to give and then only giving a refund if it's specifically requested is completely unacceptable and is even illegal. | ||

My MLG account dates back to February 2005. I can link it if you really need me to, I was a huge Halo fan back in the day. I suggest not starting off your replies with things like that in the future, assumptions like that are no fun. ^_^ | ||

I'll probably be getting a gold membership. It beats the hell out of the outlandish prices that Gom is starting to charge. Yep. I paid $30 for the Gold Membership and couldn't be happier. | ||

Btw lol at stupid people who renew their membership, when there isnt even a event running. Are you to lazy to cancel the subscibtion each time and renew it just when a new event strarts, or do u just want to support mlg that much? | ||

Say someone is on a vacation for 2 weeks and then gets back and finds out they were charged for a contract they didn't sign - is that legal? My common sense says no. And apparently the law says no as well. You can't change the terms of the substribtion and continue charging. That's just not legal, and not ethical either. And no, it doesn't matter if it's in your ToS. What if Blizzard changed their WoW subscribtion to suddenly not include WoW and instead allowed their users to visit a premium member forum for that instead and hope everyone doesn't cancel? Do you think that would be legal? | ||

Told you to cancel subscription if you didn't like the change (to the game battles thing), even told told you how to get a refund if they renewed recently... and a bunch of people are calling them retards ? get a clue i have been paying for a year now with their auto-renew, which i never actually signed up for by the way (it was automatic and i found out when they charged my credit card). thats beside the point though. they took my money on 1/30/12 for the silver membership, which includes HD. then, i get an email today saying "just kidding. you dont get shit! oh, and if you want your money back, do this and this and that." thats utter bullshit. i am still going to pay for MLG's gold pass because $30 is a good deal, but wtf MLG. dont treat your customers like this. i would be tempted to say im going to boycott them, but that would just mean i dont get to watch. IPL is a much better tournament; if they become a competitor, im likely gone from mlg. | ||

Any business that's about money would do it like this. a) You're pissed at the email but don't care enough to do stuff about it -> moar $$ b) You're pissed at the email, google around and find out that you can get your subscription money back -> the company can tell everyone that they're offering a great service to your customers by offering that option so easily accessible. Not saying that I approve of it, but charging people who are lazy more when it comes to subscriptions isn't exactly a new concept. | ||
