20$ for the live strem?

In-game costumes for a subscription-based MMORPG usually do not cost money at all. We don't typically pay to view game trailers, previews, and other promotional videos either.

at the $20 price tag for such little value

This is opinion, not fact. I find it amazing value. $20.00 for 2 days worth of constant entertainment? Hell, I'll make it a measly 40 and order in a couple pizzas and some wings from Pizza hut too. regardless if "it'll just be leaked anyways" or not, the value is watching the interviews, seeing the content itself, getting the costume. I value that, personally at far more than a paltry 20 bucks. I was honestly expecting it to have been 40-45 dollar price range, and had that much set aside for it.

This Fan Fest is for the fans. Making them pay for a stream that's for the fans of the game just doesn't sit well with me. Yes in Las Vegas, there should be a charge for all the " Actual Entertainment" SE is Providing the attendees. Everyone that is not attending the actual event , are just watching it.. not consuming any of entertainment physically at Las Vegas. All we are doing is watching. I don't know, like one person said before "Value of something is different from person to person". So if you feel 20 bucks is justified then awesome. I just don't see how a company can charge people at home watching something that is made for the fans.

That is how I personally feel.

And my quote with that link was regarding the comment "In-game costumes for a subscription-based MMORPG usually do not cost money at all."

So with that logic anything we watch at home should not have any cost associated with it? lol smh The only reason you don't pay to watch basic television (if in the US, not sure about the rest of the World) is the fact that you are inundated with commercial and ads which pay for that programming.

I am not even talking about that, I am talking about an event made for the "fans" of a game. We already paid for the game and pay for a sub. This is an entirely situation.

You already paid for the game via the sub yes, but that only gets you access to the sub. A separate extraneous event is completely different. The free stream fits what you're talking about anyway. People just want to complain even though there is a perfectly good free option.

That has 1 less very important part of the stream " Keynote". If they included that in the SD feed, I wouldn't be here complaining, I don't mind watching in SD.

You're missing one part so that you don't have to spend money. Deal with it. If you care that much pay for it. It's really just that simple. You aren't going to get it for free and complaining like you're entitled to it won't win any people over. You didn't get a ticket to the fanfest so you aren't entitled to anything. You're lucky you get anything at all. So ungrateful.

I remember the FFXI fanfest days. People in the crowd streaming from laptops they personally brought was your only option and people were happy to get even that much. Now people complain that their free stream isn't good enough.
