Said questions should be posted in that recap thread of yours.

From the perspective of the $10 subs, that's actually a pretty standard price for monthly show downloads from other hosts. I know that's what Kidd Chris was charging for a while. And I always thought that was a bit steep for just the stream.

[Chob]

What they should do is work on getting custom playlists/channels for paying subs.

Give it time, and come up with suggestions.

Good idea.

Also, Bubba and radioIO should sell virtual hats. Works for Team Fortress 2.

This is about the early enlisters really. They dropped $300 and won't be getting it back. They paid for exclusivity - that's what was sold to them.

The monthly people, just stop paying. Same thing is happening with my Apple MobileMe sub. They're making it free for everyone in a month or so. That means I won't get billed anymore either. That $300 is a sunk cost.

I totaly agree with you, EE's and yearly subs should get something in return for being early adopters. Yearly subs were somewhat ignored in those discussions today. It would be a good thing to bring up.

The meet and greet part of the Early Enlistment is something that will only serve a small portion of those 2,800+ people.

And Spice said they will be doing more for us EEs in the future. You can't get your money back without a lot of effort so eat the bullet and wait to see what happens.

I have confidence they CAN make it right. Whether they actually WILL, time will tell.

If they do two years of free Bubba Raw for each EE, that comes out to $240, almost the cost of the EE. Would be a good "thank you." Of course they would lose a few paying subs, but it would help them PR wise.
