I do not see the USBGF as trying to "milk" any cow. You must not realize what it takes to stream and the equipment involved. In Novi, for example, I had my $700 computer, $100 monitors, $40 camera, and spent 4-5 hours over the weekend dealing with/setting up the stream. To ask for compensation for my time and money is completely justified. In LA, as another example, they had a laptop set up on a chair on the table and had to have 2 staff members turning large dice for every roll of the game to show viewers. So they also got compensation for their time as staff. Directors, and the USBGF are bending over backwards to give viewers like you a chance to watch these matches from the comfort of your home, to cry about the idea of a $15 fee for a whole tournaments worth of matches when/if they get the stream to a good quality is ridiculous. The USBGF had to buy the camera, a stand to use it with, the luggage fees to bring it overseas, and is paying to give viewers an ad free viewing experience.
