First Earth went Subscription Only

By Crimsonwarlock, in X-Wing

I tried to watch First Earth's coverage of the European Champs and the site said the vids were locked behind a paywall.

When did that start? Anyone got any background on the change?

They have for quite awhile. He’ll upload them to YouTube pretty fast. Just subscribers get to watch right away. Just an incentive to become a subscriber.

That's Twitch's fault.

I'm far less bummed about this now

I watched First Earth's coverage on Twitch over the weekend with no problems, and I'm not a subscriber.

VOD is subscription-only, you can watch live but the past broadcasts are locked.

Ah ok, I had presumed we were talking about the live broadcasts. Sorry
