Are the archive videos for Evo supposed to require subscription to watch? At least for me they are blocked.
You need to pay to talk; watch in 720p and to view the archives.
E-sports.
Looks like you do have to pay to watch the archives. Them fools just got my $12.00 :lame:
What about if we paid to be a competitor and are actually at EVO? Do we have access to the archives or do we have to pay something extra for it?
I wish the subscription description mentioned this. I was planning to watch most of it on archive because of other plans, now I just missed a bunch of stream I wanted to see. Guess that is gone. Paying $12 for archives is too much.
I’m in Florida and the internet cuts off frequently due to storms.
Wow, pay to watch an archive… Fucking gay.
I’m aware of the scholarship… Still fucking gay.
Hopefully it’s released for free eventually.
This is the same bullshit they pulled last year.
Greedy fucks

Paying $12 to view archives isn’t very different from paying $12 for the Evo DVD.
But I suppose the lot of you don’t remember when we had to buy DVDs (and there’s a lot of stuff here that wouldn’t end up on DVD, and vice versa) and couldn’t just watch archives online.
I remember when events used to try to get me to buy dvds. I didn’t buy those either. Paying to watch something you broadcast for free? Not for me.
does anyone kno if they will b free to watch at some point? or will the always be locked?
It’s really not cool that they didn’t tell us about this. In the post it said NOTHING about subscription getting you access to the archives:
Really sucks for someone in Europe that can’t watch much of evo live.
Btw I think that sub only HD option is a good idea. But if they’re broadcasting the non-HD content for free it shouldn’t be in a paid only archive. They haven’t really thought this through.
This is fucking despicable. I have lost all respect for SRK.
They’ll be on youtube someday.
yeah. someday.
maybe

[S]I’m still hoping this is a mistake since they didn’t mention it anywhere (including the notes about subscribing). It’s bad on a lot of levels if it stays like this… What about people tuning into Evo for the first time? International people that can’t be awake at crazy times to watch pools? People who are actually there that want to watch later?[/S]
[S]People willingly subscribe to help the community and chip in, but to force subscription for something pretty basic to the scene is deplorable.[/S]
[S]I got paid today and waited until now to throw in my $12, now I’m torn if I want to do it out of principle alone.[/S]
as long as i dont have to pay $80 for a dvd 6 months later anymore, i ain’t complaining.
Still not fixed. Incompetent.
Well, this glitch has been there since Thursday night. You couldn’t even watch the archive of Floe playing IWBTG without a subscription.
For that reason I doubt that they will fix this any time soon.
