$20 for winter -> mass outrage "only" $30 for all of spring -> wow that's much better, very fair (general reaction) If the $30 was announced straight from free you'd get equal hate. But now it seems OK because of Winter. Good PR. | ||

 Anyways, this seems much much more feasible than the 20 bucks for the one arena, which actually worked out well due to TL's new (then) live reporting  Though I'd love more free content, I think that this should work out alright ^_^ | ||

Hehe true, i kinda wonder what the reaction will be when all big events go PPV and each event will cost around 10 bucks.... what a massacre will have then. | ||

The reaction will be the same as now; anyone who wants to watch free, will find somewhere to watch free. Whether its a barcraft or a pirate stream, they will pay $0 and watch. And anyone who wants to pay, will pay, and they'll feel good about themselves. | ||

I don't understand why mlg has to be the only tournament to not stream for free, I mean premium passes for higher quality or earlier vod access can still be offered. Apart from that 10$ is still too much money for an Arena. The competetive Starcraft scene is far away from being ready for pay tv, don't understand this at all and I think the people who make MLG are seriously money-grubbing. Well, it's fair compared to the cost of the Winter Arena, which may have been their plan all along. Have a ridiculously high price for one event, then for the next event(s) include more content for a similar price so it looks like a good deal...at least compared to their previous deal. The problem still lies in the fact that their competitors offer a similar product for a lower price (or offer it for free). | ||
