Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're doing it wrong by any means. Alex has a great view point and that should be respected as much as MLG saying "Hey, I think our content and the teams we're doing the referrals for are worth your cash and your time." I know many that love Starcraft 2 and the community and it's just something not everyone could drop cash in at the drop of a hat due to budgeting. Or at least in mine and my friends cases. I, too, will let MLG know my stance and hope to see it fixed in the future, because I'd love to support eSports. I'd love to support EG. I'd love to support Team Liquid. Just it's impossible due to my low fixed income. -eXeKryos | ||

I would love to pay for MLG's arena, but 20$ is just too high. "Esports is gunna have a withdrawal this year. I will respond by helping that happen." I'm baffled. I agree with Alex that the price is probably too high, but for what they are doing (paying for every player's trip, good sized prize pool, probably amazing production), come on. If you want to see the scene to actually become something, put in some damn effort and actually invest in what you love. If you don't love it, then you don't deserve it anyway. | ||

I'll be doing option A because I have the money to spend, but it's still a ridiculous price for a small amount of content in my opinion. I'm pretty biased here because I do love EG and have bought every T-Shirt on offer just to support the players I love (and team liquid's shirts/posters for that matter) and I hope MLG can do something to make it more manageable for the spectators. | ||

At $20 ... No. Multiply that by hundreds or thousands of people, and they are shooting themselves in the foot. Doesn't matter how they justify it. Price point is too high. So, customers go elsewhere. | ||

The biggest step is getting people to pay in the first place, (they need to be able to pay on the internet, something not everyone likes to do or can do) and once that first step is made they are basicly willing to pay annything as long as its "small" 10$ would not have made a significant difference, people would still be upset and oppose the idea to pay. Starting high now, at 20$, to make 10$ for the next toruney look like a good deal Meh i dont think this will work either, Manny people on the forum here expressed the idea that they would have paid if it was only 10 but maybe because they dont want to be "dickheads" for beeing completely against anny form of payment., Personally i think people who dont want to pay 20 will be convinced by a lower price. Its verry annoying and inconvenient to have to pull out monney every weekend to watch something, Specially if you already bought something like a year pass (gold member) D for me. I wouldnt mind paying once a year for ALL sc related content but reality is that this is not possible and you will be charged aditionally on manny occasions wich is just annoying | ||

i will be going to a barcraft for this, if I wasn't i'd still pay the $20 and email asking for $10 next time. I love MLG and I want to support them in any way i can. I am a current gold member, and will renew my subscription (even if I never use it cuz of barcrafts ) just because I want to support them and I think gold membership is a great price. | ||

I will buy it because, well, I love esports and would love to see it grow. But I don't agree with the direction or the price point. Option A for me. | ||

I would pay 10$ right now to be able to view MLG though. EDIT Maybe for 30$ a package could come with a shirt signed by some random pro? Or by sundance? Or by EG's Alex? | ||
