The income from adds on twitch must be ridiculously low, seeing how few hours per month they stream, and how little you get per viewer per hour. On June 11 2015 04:14 ZeromuS wrote: My main question related to this is how can so many other streams offer things for free without using the "low" quality bait as it were. Is GOM the only one willing to take this stance, or are they operating so much less efficiently than the other companies that they need to do this? I think they are the only ones doing it because they are the only ones that can do it successfully. I think any tournament would do it if they would get as many subscribers as gom. But they wouldn't, so they stick to what they can get, which is some sponsor and then trying to get as many free viewers they can to report back to the sponsors. | ||

Which is a fine statement, we are just on the wrong sides of the border. :D /sarcasm Remember that it is not "buy this or we cut the English stream completely", since they can't do that if they want to stay an important WCS event. Wasn't a requirement for WCS to have a certain quality stream? | ||

Starcraft 2 seems to be holding its own, but it feels fragile. I don't see this helping GSL gain more viewership, just milking what it has. It might work in the short run but I don't see it helping in the long. Starleague on the other hand seems to be gaining a lot more popularity and to me seems like a much better business plan. | ||

See for example: The demise of MLG, IPL, NASL and the fact that WCS is most likely an unprofitable loss-leader for a game that only makes its money from box sales unlike LoL, DOTA 2 or SMITE. I think MLG experimented with a PPV model for SC2 a while ago but I don't think it turned out as well as they hoped. | ||
