I remember that during the WCS KR seasons Mr. Chae talked about how GSL was coming back and how Blizzard would allow them to do stuff their way, maybe betwen this was one of the stuff they asked to have? It would make sense in a way for GSL to ask Blizzard for this so then can get some extra money, I don't know its a theory | ||

So, in short, could anybody explain why it is weird for a large broadcasting company to ask for a pretty small sum of money? | ||

I mean, this debate has been going on for months, but I don't see a problem. Why do people feel entitled to free 720p? I mean, it's in the Blizzard book, but GSL isn't WCSKR anymore. The cost per hour of entertainment is incredibly low, the only videogame I ever paid 60$ for that I spend more than 4x the time on than on GSL is probably Skyrim.

It's pure greed and should not be supported in any way | ||

Also "they already earn money" is no reason to get stuff for free. I won't get that new apple watch even if I ask really, really nicely. | ||

If GSL offered free subscriptions for anyone who wrote them a letter swearing their mother was dead, you can bet that they'd receive more false letters than truthful ones. | ||

People still pirate Netflix shows and music that's on Spotify. They just want free everything. So, it seems like the three of you agree with me. It's weird to demand everything for free. Yes. So what? Other tournaments give free HD probably because sponsors demand it for maximum exposure or because of Blizzard. GSL on the other hand has mostly Korean sponsors that don't deliver products to western markets. Isn't it normal for them to demand a bit of money for the service they provide to you? | ||
