I hope they're only charging for the presentations on dumb stuff like procedural walking and Big Bennys lore, and are keeping the keynote free. It would be the best of both worlds.

So I can watch real game developers succeed for free, or I can pay to watch CIG fail? Where do I sign up?

Given that their messaging is unspecific on that point, leaving room for people to guess, what does your heart tell you. They want to paywall the whole thing:
It limits the broadcast of images of unsold seats in main auditorium to those who are monetarily invested. It captures $20 from people who would actually like to attend, but can't justify Austin flights and hotel rooms. But - the ambiguity gives them the room to backtrack and open up main presentations if there is sufficient backlash. Blizzcon digital tickets were implemented because Blizzcon sold out almost instantly, and filled a legitimate user demand. This is fulfilling a CIG desire. They have given up hope of capturing new customers and are starting to extract anchovy oil.

This will prevent those not attending like Bored and Twerk from being able to stream it on their channels — which is just sticking the knife in further. Bored has flight anxiety and Twerk had job related concerns preventing him from going. Both were planning to watch and I assume restream it on their channels. It’s a  of

For comparison's sake: Blizzcon tickets get you a shitload of extra stuff, including a tivo function. Also, not buying a Blizzcon ticket doesn't stop you watching the main show. I watched the BFA stream live last year with everyone else, no ticket needed.

Lmfao all these people on the subreddit are really angry about having to pay to watch streams of citizencon, including people who are just below the magic $800 number that gives you complementary access. following are some top level comments that seem to be mostly uncontroversial and upvotedquote:Guess my ~$700 is considered worthless in the face of the whales. quote:As I remember it I already paid for info and updates when I backed. quote:[–]Burr73 [score hidden] 58 minutes ago* quote:[–]EP0XEnew user/low karma [score hidden] 49 minutes ago https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/9bovd7/i_support_you_cig_but_i_will_not_be_buying_a/?st=jlhbqwo6&sh=ba578978 ed: someone points out in another thread on the subject that eve does big things every year in iceland and manage to stream for free quote:The prices in Iceland are probably much lower than what CIG is paying. Also, what do you think of Blizzard and all the other conventions where you have to pay money to watch their streams? smart people on that subreddit Frog Act fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Aug 31, 2018 |

Listen, and understand. That Crobear is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are broke.

They are now claiming to provide archives of the presentations, and that you are only paying to watch the show live. Good enough for me, and will still massively gently caress with the biggest fans. Keep doing what you are doing CIG!
