What soe dont seem to understand is that Esports were never meant to be paid to view

Secondly they highly elastic , thus a small change in price will yeld a sharp change in the demand.

get some micro 01 charging 20 bucks for 3 days out of thin air wont work in the long run - heck even in the short one.

I'm sorry but this to me is completely greedy and nothing else. Hell even GOM has LQ stream...
If MLG wants to have 5 streams the most logical thing is to have the 2 ones in LQ like the previous events with ads of course... Or I missed something and ads don't generate revenue anymore? Seriously MLG,,,

As I said before, is there any more doubt about whether or not Winter Arena was marketed as a Pro Circuit event?

I can almost promise you that they went "oh if we put on these extra events we will need extra money or we cant do them" so they did this.

It's a good thing that there are plenty of us out there who realize that $20 is basically no money at all and will more than make up for all the cheap bastards who don't want to pay for anything.

Seriously. $20? You guys are upset about $20?

Even when I worked for minimum wage I wouldn't mind paying $20.

Fuck, I've paid $30 to go to the local pro soccer team (for a single game). I've paid $300 season's tickets to that same soccer team. I've paid $100 to go to a concert. Going to see a movie at the theatre costs $15.

At times I identify with being a nerd, and other times I'm disgusted at how pathetic and cheap that group is.

on onemoregame´s stream sundance is making a statement NOW and getting a bit of a roast for his communication of the whole Winter Arena story. Props to him for hanging in there and taking the blame - hopefully things will get smoother next time.

Sundance is saying right now that gold members who have cancelled their membership since this announcement are only in "teens" in numbers and that it's just that there are a small number of very vocal angry members on these forums.

Hmm now I feel a bit sorry for sundance - I mean yes it was a PR fuck-up but MLG generally is inclined to do a good job and they don´t deserve ALL the shit they are getting.

$20 seems like a lot, I would probably pay $10 at the most.

I hate to say it....but I'm actually feeling sympathetic for sundance in this...it seems legit! I think this experiment will help esports in general.

However I think $10 for gold members may help get the PPV off the ground....and then raise it after a while

and if I was working...I would definitely give money for gold and this arena

Winter Championshio will have free LQ stream right. As long as the major MLG events are free to the public, I'm fine with MLG charging more for this "bonus contents" for the more hardcore and devoted MLG watchers. That's how I see it so it doesn't bother me at all.

Hm can´t emphasize enough how much props sundance deserves now - he now pays for his bad decision many times over.
He has got the balls to admit the failure and does the right thing to speak out publicly - the only right thing to do after such a mistake. Gj Sundance - now I am a fan (and not making such mistakes again would help in the future as well ;P)

You don't have to express your idea in such an asshole way.

Even if a disadvantaged person can't pay yet, they could be posting "I love what MLG has given me so far for free and I want to do my part, but I can't yet. Wish you guys all the luck" and not go on posting "what the fuck is this $20 blah blah blah" etc all the bitching that people have done. But the point is the vast vast majority of SC2 fans can find $20 to pay if they had a good understanding of value.
