"People love to pay for something that used to be free, which is mostly advertising/marketing for something we are selling to them" is such peak tech company brain that I'm surprised Riot hasn't gone for the self-kill with it on LCS already

any kind of subscription would need to be something value added instead of gatekeeping, like getting skin shards for every month or exclusive riot twitch emotes or something similar, because esports viewers are not live sports viewers and will categorically not pay money for the privilege of viewing

If I had to pay for live LoL, I'd also be paying for some billboard-trucks to drive around Berlin real drat soon-like.

Didn't OGN make a profit literally by having a subscription on Twitch until Riot nuked them?

The LCSPA caved and got none of what they were asking for. What they're claiming to have gotten were things Riot said they were already going to do (the $300k for NACL teams), or things that address none of they issues they said they wanted to fix. 30 days severance means nothing when it only covers the people who were already well known players to be getting 150% the minimum salary in the NACL and the rest is all vague promises of future discussions.

kirtar posted:Apparently peak viewership was something like half of opening day from last split. probably a combination of the unusual schedule (the wednesday makeup games thing wasn't broadcast well at all, especially for people who were only peripherally paying attention to the walkout), the same stale LCK zeri/aphelios/yuumi/milio meta, and the lingering bad vibes from having the start of the split being marred by a bitter labour dispute i also have to imagine that, despite how far their stars have fallen from their heydays, the loss of the CLG brand and TSM's immanent departure have sent their remaining fan presence packing, and a lot of teams are starting with these halfhearted thrown together budget rosters with zero personality. just not a lot to get excited for either in game or out of game Vermain fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jun 15, 2023 |
