Just wondering for users here, do you subscribe to them on Twitch? Or membership on YouTube? And are you planning on subscribing to this new service?
As someone who's not in the US, I feel like some of their additional perks would be US focused and I won't get as much value but I do like the idea of supporting CR without Twitch/YouTube getting their cut first (depending on whatever deal CR has with those companies I guess)
From what I understand they're following the model of Dropout.tv and it should have the same services available in all regions. The main selling point, from what I can tell is the extra footage, such as the Session 0 prep for the upcoming live show that they announced would be part of the initial rollout. This is good news to the people who thought they would miss out on some of the campaign. I wouldn't be surprised if they added their own serialized content like Dropout recently did with Thousandaires.
Yes I think with perks I was mostly thinking of event presales, which would mostly be in the US. I'd still get the extra content and merch discounts outside of the US. Then again, if they never do shows near Australia, it doesn't really matter to me haha. I'm definitely tempted to subscribe, especially since I ended by Twitch sub a few months ago. Side note I just clicked on the appstore link from beacon.tv and the app is not available in my region 😅
As long as their main campaign continues to be available for free on YouTube and Twitch, I'm on board with them expanding their production company to new shows with this model.
That's a bummer. I'm fairly certain they're planning something in Straya. Being a show in the anglophone sphere, it's a larger market than the UK (though their show in London was certainly boosted by EU travelers).
Yeah that’s a big issue with AU. It’s so far away from anywhere else that we won’t have nearly enough travelers to come here
