This kind of investment isn't that expensive, because for 60FPS 1080p videos, you can get a decent quality camera for 200 EUR tops.

ahem, a proper entry level PTZ camera would cost at least 10 times this, and you need more than one, for the table and the commenters , and then an entry video mixer is like 20000 bucks. a proper professional streaming would need that, plus a trained operator to pay for using the mixer.

And TBH 1080 p is nothing Extraordinary, it's just a resolution. What matters is the cam sensor. And a Go Pro isn't really professional quality.

Now on the other hand, FFG and Asmodee could outsource this. there are plenty of pro broadcasting company that can direct this for you.

And by the way, I work in professional broadcast and streaming industry.

We'll just have to hope for a return to the glory days when some ESPN variant starts broadcasting card game tournaments again.

Yeah, numbers will need to be bigger then, because AFAIK, there was 1500-2000 viewers for World's finals. Not bad, but not awesome either. Numbers need to make FFG think they will be revenue, for them to consider professional streaming as a media to invest in.

I'm not sure if this is just a written communication thing, or perhaps a consequence of posting in a second language, but commenting with a single question like this comes across as rude and brusque. We're not search engines for you, dude...if someone is providing you with helpful information or you have a request, being polite and courteous can go a long way.

Man, it's the internet. I'm not sure what are your expectations towards forums like these, or the fact that there is no intonation conveyed. We are here to exchange information. If you can answer cool, if you can't, or don't want to, that is cool also. No need to write QQ about a normal sentence which mildly can suggest rudeness.

Great. I'm not working professionally, but I've been meddling with streams since 2010 and with video editing from 4-5 years before that. My point is, there are probably a lot of people like me, who can do this relatively cheap (not even asking FFG to pay) to produce a decent result. Yeah, it won't be the best one, the most professional with Analyzer desk and post-game interviews with a young "gamer" lady ... but it will at least be some video coverage. Which to my opinion is better than no video coverage.

The fact that you can't use custom made mats/tokens and such, make more sense to me, than to simply come up with a generic excuse like "it is expensive" ....

Meh, that's so cliche these days. I expect nothing less than a proper shrine maiden cosplayer for the official post-game interviews.

(But seriously, how awesome would it be to get someone cosplaying as a shrine maiden to do post-game interviews?)

There will be some yearly Anime-Con in Dusseldorf the same Days as the Kotei. Might pick up a few Shrine "Maidens" for extra click-baits on my recordings
