Sure, I love that I get it for free, mad props to them for that, but we as an audience can't expect esports as a business to stick around if we're going to have everything for free. you are a true norwegian! and whit that i mean dumb  you clearly dont know how DH makes money. you think the only way is to get money from payed streams. this is not the first time for DH to give us free HD streams so that speaks for itself. so show the swedish people that you norwegian are not that dumb as we want you to be so we can have a good laugh and say "i get it" | ||

This isn't killing E-Sports, it's putting your money into something you love so that something can strive. If asking people to pay for additional benefits is a way to put your money into something where you get something immediately back from, then I don't see why not. Stop acting like a spoilt brat. If people don't have money to pay for a HD stream then they probably don't have enough money to pay for an internet bill that can support a HD stream. If you're a kid and you can't convince your parents to pay for it for you, then guess what? Who's fault is that? Yours. Show them you have a passion for it, show them it's not a waste of money to you. I think you, of all people should be the last person to tell someone how to spend their money as well, quit being that little kid that wants everything to be the same, always. I don't tell anyone what or what they should do with their money. Nor do I want everything to be the same (it's normal these days to charge for a HD stream - that would make DH something different, not "the same") I think you misunderstood something there. You feel like cheating DH when you use a service THEY provide for free? Maybe this is because you are from the other end of the world, but where I come from, we are thankful if people provide us with something for free and enjoy that fact. Plus, if someone provides his content for free, I assume that they want it to be free and can afford it. If they would need the money to continue making DH, then they would charge for it. Thinking they would not do so means one thinks that they are dumb. There are people who maybe can afford an internet connection, but that doesn't mean that they can afford HD stream. If they for example only have the money to buy the neccessary things and there is just enough left over for a connection, they just CANT buy a HD pass. Again, I don't know how you guys handle it over there, but I for example am pretty sure my parents wouldn't have bought me HD streams for any big event - even if I would've begged for it - especially not if there is a free stream aswell. They gave me a little amount of money every month (not even enough to buy one MLG Arena pass every 2 months) to show me the worth of money and that it's not something to spend lightly. If I ran out of money I had to wait for the next month, I couldn't just ask them for more. If you enjoyed this luxury as a kid, my congratulations. I still don't get why people who want to spend their money to support something don't just DONATE. Maybe it's not really about supporting someone but about feeling superior to others because one does get something they don't if they pay for HD. I can't point that out more: If you feel that someone deserves money for what they do, donate! It's much more appreciated than just paying for an offer, because it shows that you like what they do instead of just showing that you want that content. | ||

I bolded the parts where you're telling us how to spend our money. Having a debate with you is like whacking your head on a brick wall, I'm not going to debate how different parents act, nor am I going to reinstate any of my previously posted points, as you didn't provide any new points. Good day sir. | ||

Good day sir. Yes, I told that in my second post, which was after your accusation. In my first post I asked a question. I had to phrase it like this because apparently its content gets ignored while its rhetorical structure (or whatever the term or word would be in english) doesn't. But yeah, I think you shouldn't debate, because you are apparently not open for different perspectives and start to insult me instead of answering my questions or reflecting the arguments I provide. Good day aswell. For all the others who think DH should charge for HD: Why don't you guys donate if you want them to get money? | ||
