| IPL is just so awesome, especially when compared to the crap that's MLG. You got my $5.00. One question, does this apply to daily shows too? |

| looks good! 5$ is a bargain, to be honest. I would have paid the "standard" 5-10$ for the event alone. I still think the ESL model of freemium with subscriptions and single-event passes is the most flexible offer for the consumer. |

I think so

MLG made the mistake of making a price point that's two high and I think IPL's is definitely too low.
I worded that a little bad, I do care, I just dont care for how MLG handled their last event, I don't dislike MLG and love esports. I was really just trying to say that we shouldn't need to know the background of company's and such to decide if we want to purchase their product. If the price is good and the quality is good, we will buy it.
And IPL's quality has been amazing since the start.

| I'll be paying, even though I won't be needing the 720p and 1080p streams. To support IPL is enough for me, and the fact that it isn't gouging us at all. |

Right i'll explain to orracle and tdt this last time.
PPV model has been done once, their is no supply and demand data on what the ideal price point is for maximum coverage to the most consumers. We know what the freemium data is and we know based on e-sports as a whole the gerneralized demographic. So there is no supply & demand for PPV yet v(my point). MLG did a straight up PPV model, IPL is doing a subscription-based model. There is no comparison between companies or strategy and as Shadz said to bad mouth one over the other is immature and so is making up false figures to argue with, which is why I said what I said.
Tdt when you learn what generalizing means, I might acknowledge one of your posts but you continue to throw insults in the way of discussion so I still consider you an idiot and from what you have written I can't see past that assumption sorry.
Maeph interesting point and I take on board what you say.
Sephyus yeah I retract what I said before it was just worded badly.

I agree completely, MLG did handle it pretty sloppily.
I just hope people don't expect these sort of prices in all of the big tournaments this year.

| Sounds like a great deal, only wish there was an annual pass deal for $50 or something. I'll be subscribing for sure. Hope TwitchTV can come up with a reliable security method. |

Sephyus yeah I retarct what I said before it was just worded badly.
Well I didn't exactly say that. I just don't like that people are looking down at MLG's cost which, even though many people consider over priced, are still closer to a reasonable price than $5 for a months worth of content. As I said before, IPL can afford to take it as slow as they want because of their financial backing, so I just don't want people to think that $5 is 'fair', because it is in fact a great deal for consumers but not one we should expect often in the future.

I know they have undercut the current competition to get a influx of subscribers then in the future they can raise the price to fit more in line with a more sustainable model. I don't expect future tournaments to even come close to this price due to the financial backing IPL has through the brand IGN. |

Well there are the words i searched for an advanced explanation of the point i made up before, but my english sucked to hard 
If you have no available data on the price in the case of mlg i tell you this: im sure they knew about the costumer satisfaction, and if they did their homeworks they also have reliable possibilities to compare prices and the succes of pricing, e.g. prices of GSLs monthly premium package including both GSL & GSTL costs a monthly $19.99 and as we know with those leagues we're speaking about the leagues with the best players and the highest available play available atm with slightly more games if we add up Code A Code S and GSTL games together.
Next step of evaluating offers in that area could be easy as well, just check ESLs HSC numbers which was $10(or even less? don't know exactly) and as for me it was included in an ESL premium package which made me whatch ESL streams in HD for $19 a month, but not only sc2 but also all other games featured in Esl as well as tournament participation possibilitie for me.
And versus those offers those $20 for 3 days MLG wanted become even more ridiculous in my eyes at least. |
