Will DCI continue streaming EVERY weekend?

[Huntington Mallets]

For the record, I'm voting yes and both because I believe they just want to perfect the streaming until semifinals

OR

its all a marketing ploy to milk the market for more more subscribers week by week

Marketing ploy to leech? Buddy, come on. That's low.

That was me. :P

I'll admit, it has me tempted.

Yeah I'm subscribing this week knowing I will get Atlanta AND San Antonio AND Semis but mostly for the free streaming of past shows

btw your new sig wins

I could tell you what I think, but it'd get me a 5-day. The PC version is that they are selling a service. That's capitalism, and if you call it a "ploy" and a "leech", well, it's First Amendment, I guess. It's also a poor characterization.

Maybe they don't want to overpromise and underdeliver - the stuff many people skewered SP for last year. Now underpromising and overdelivering is "leech"-ing.

Perhaps. Perhaps I shouldn't say what I think. Perhaps.

Ok sorry I called it leeching, I changed it to "milking the market" and I meant leeching in the best capitalistic way. (I just didn't know how to describe it in a better way)

I think the "leeching" comment was meant in a "creating positive word of mouth" kinda way in order to generate new subscribers, rather than portraying the SP folks as used-car salesmen.
