Great news, the arenas have been awesome events with really top notch production. Presumably gold members will now get the HD/noads ticket instead of the previous discount. Any word on whether the Fighters Arena will return?

I am pretty sure he said freemium because only Gold members will get HD.

Well good, I never paid for the arenas, but it looks like those who did opened it up for us, and we have to thank you for that.

Either the arenas totally failed in the revenue, or Anaheim was so successful that they can do this now. Im thinking the latter

The original post was complete shit, this change shows absolutely nothing about the PPV model, and in fact Sundance directly contradicts what he said in his tweets.

perhaps i should just post my previous post again? twitter is actually not evidence, especially in the hands of the CEO of the company posting it.

I think the PPV was fine with the VODs coming out only a week later for free, never understood why other people didn't just take advantage of that but whatever, glad can experience the action live again, and glad that MLG was able to prove its value to sponsors

Nice move by MLG, makes sense from a viewership standpoint and bonus brownie points from fans to sponsoring companies

Nice, im about to head back to school so saving a bit really helps. I've been a subscriber of the last two and I look forward to the polished content they've delivered. Hopefully my gold membership will get me a HD pass too

This means during the school year I'm going to be more distracted on weekends I should be studying. Nonetheless, fantastic!

Thats the perfect approach Sundance giving back to the community like you do and they will praise you

Can't wait to see those Arenas!

I don't think you understand the business side of e-sports.

On topic: Sundance is a good man. Love that guy. He gets it.

Maybe my insulting and his responding about this subject on Twitter triggered a network of logical cogs inside that tiny - yet admittedly, well financed - head of his.
