While I agree with the notion that they already bought the equipment, they do have other sources that cost money, sound/production/casters, etc. I don't agree with their step, but saying they have no other cost after buying equipment is a little short sighted imo.

I thought you always broadcast on source quality, the changes made for the other qualities high, medium, and low are made in the dashboard. Also the bitrate changes, and actual scaling happens on the Twitch server side of things, so saying production cost increased because of streaming on medium is just blatantly lying to your "would be customers". | ||

The cost between HD and low (not even medium) is already paid for... (how else could subscribers watch HD?) | ||

I would be understanding of this fact if it wasn't for the fact that none of the korean sites have a pay wall, all GSL(high wcs tournaments) are supposed to have 720p at least etc. etc. It's just a greedy justification, and when put into perspective they are literally just to try to make money off international fans. This alone wouldn't be a problem, because obviously companies have to make money, but to essentially make the tournament unwatchable and then say 'oh we are not profiting enough' yet allowing another source quality location for free and restricting its access makes this decision ... sort of questionable at best. | ||

I wake up when the second set of players play (GSL)/ second Proleague match happens (6:30 EST.) GSL runs while I'm getting ready for work so I keep my tablet by my side as I'm getting ready and then can use my wifi at work to finish watching. | ||
