get back to your basement and paint your 40k miniatures.

I think they might be trying to be too polite with their wording and don’t want to come right out and say “No one wants a free comic that’s just 1 or 2 page ads for all the comics you publish” and are calling them ‘anthologies’ so as not to step on anyone’s toes. If someone submits a free comic with 3 or 4 complete…

I don’t blame them, they want to avoid what happened to Free RPG Day, which has become more of a “regular customer” appreciation day.

Theres only so many times they can redo Civil War before it becomes its own genre.

49ers fans dealing with Jed York, just take a look at the Redskins over the last 17 years under Dan Snyder. That’s exactly what you are going to have to deal with, except without the media hype that only DC can provide.

I’m a huge sports fan (not NFL though) and stream 100% of the sports I watch.

As a millenial from the 90s (that’s a thing, right?), I think most of it comes from the figurative and literal shitshow the games were leading up to it, so I was markedly less interested in giving attention to it all.

“Well too freaking bad. Nothing is free in this world.

They should charge something like a reasonable $9.99 to watch the Olympics with an app. It’s just not the US, a lot of people around the world don’t have access to cable or satellite TV. They need to change.

i would have happily paid NBC $50-$100 for rights to stream from their app to my chomecast/firestick/roku/whatever.

I can’t help but wonder how much money NBC might have made to charge say $20 for access to the app and their stream on the website. This dependence on cable is going to kill them in the long term.

Or you know, have an option to pay simply for that content, without having to buy in a bunch of garbage I don’t care about. Streaming on demand content has been a thing for a while.

Millenial here... I did not watch this year’s Olympics religiously, but when I did, it was via BBC and a VPN chromecasted to my TV. Most of the people I know who watched it did the same thing.

Easy there captain angry pants. NBC is a national network that actually broadcasts it’s programming free of charge. Naturally, that doesn’t include the cable channels they do have but the backbone of their operation is the NBC channel, which is in no way tied to cable.

Weird, because I could just turn on the TV and see the Olympics on NBC. Even without cable. Is that “expecting all the benefits”?

Yeah, it’s like NBC can’t already be picked up for free with a digital antenna.

On the other hand, if the network restricts the usage to those with cable, they can’t turn around and blame people without cable for not watching. They did both.

Yup I hear you. That’s a major failing from the powers that be. Why would you download the app to watch the show...when you can just watch the show from your cable provider?

This is an incredibly outdated way of thinking which can only be coming from the people in the TV stations who are aged 55+ and over.

it’s hilarious how they “blame” millennials.
