I honestly don't know yet.  I definitely can't do the yearly right now, but I could do monthly.  But monthly doesn't really do anything for me all that significant.

#4 Posted by Jeffsekai (6949 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I was going to, but 1 it costs to much (60$ for Canada thanks to some shitty shirt design) that and the whole thing looks sleezy

#5 Posted by cstrang (2381 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Absolutely, yes.  This site gives me hours upon hours of entertainment on a regular basis.  I will do this small part to help support the site.

#6 Posted by nickux (1349 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I had always planned on getting a paid membership because I love the site and appreciate all of the content they've given me thus far. I want to support the people behind this site because over the years I've really enjoyed what they do. That being said, I am really bummed to hear about the Bombcast issue. As I said, I always planned on paying but if I weren't- that shit would have made it mandatory. I must have my podcasts they're what keep me going through the work week.  
 
Would like to do a yearly account but I just flat-out don't have $50 to dispose of at the moment. Ok maaayyybe. Depends on the shirt.

I, for one, welcome our new Whiskey Media overlords.

Now this is the appropriate time to make this topic.

What do I get in return?

#10 Posted by JarenFace (205 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Depends on what the additional features are. At this point the only thing I would want is bombcast complete... and that t-shirt. It looks pretty neat, not going to lie.

#11 Posted by JJOR64 (18132 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Not right away.  Don't have the money for it.

#12 Posted by BeachThunder (8918 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Non.

#13 Posted by Barrock (3190 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

As soon as humanly possible.

#14 Posted by Coombs (3436 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

If the price was $30 
 
$50 is ridiculous

#15 Posted by SuperZamrod (264 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

NO.

#16 Posted by InfiniteGeass (2005 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Never.

#17 Posted by bwooduhs (1609 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

yearly for me

#18 Posted by CharlesAlanRatliff (5226 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Yeppers. I am looking forward to finally owning a Whiskey Media/Giant Bomb shirt!

#19 Posted by CannonGoose (350 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I definitely use the site enough to warrant paying for a membership. Whiskey Media is a great bunch of people and it'd be awful for them to not be able to put out bigger and better content in the future. It really depends when my card gets charged, because if it's at the end of the year then I'd be able to pay, but during the year  is a dit dicey sometimes (I get billed for Xbox Live in October and that sometimes catches me off guard).

#20 Posted by Claude (15850 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Fucked up poll, always add other. Amateur. I'm a wait and see guy, so Other.

#21 Posted by President_Barackbar (3153 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Was going to, but honestly don't know anymore with this podcast shit.

#22 Edited by Ashen (124 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

If I had any interest in HD video I'd be a user on gametrailers right now. So far the only compelling thing is that I get the full podcast as opposed to the 1/2 of a pod cast (which is bullshit, and Ryan pulling the "we're doing this to survive" line is so fucking slimy) and personally I'd rather not pay for something that is free on other subscription based websites. Hell even gamespots live show is watchable by anyone, this whole thing seems like a complete miscalculation of GBs value. So I'm currently in the No camp.

#23 Posted by FinalDasa (1009 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Once I have the money, hellz to the yes. 

#24 Posted by AlisterCat (5025 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Maybe. I won't have the money for quite a while though.

#25 Posted by Jadeskye (4324 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

hell yeah!

#26 Posted by fugie7 (1103 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

nope.

#27 Posted by Constable_Wiggum (103 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Grass, Gas, or Ads.  Nobody rides for free. 
 
I'm in.

#28 Posted by LordXavierBritish (6237 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Judging from this poll it would appear that the splitting of the Bombcast isn't bothering everyone.

#29 Posted by The_Joker (209 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I'm in, but they are shooting themselves in the foot splitting up this podcast. I've yet to see a soul that is pumped in any way for that. I have no problem handing Whiskey 50 dollars. Giant Bomb is a vidya game site. Every member of this site has had their heart broken by one bad game or another. That was fifty dollars wasted. This, my friends, is where that fifty should have gone.

#30 Posted by BD (232 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Wheres is this podcast information? And if it's true, this sucks. I thought they weren't gonna take anything away. I bet I'll be able to find a torrent though.

Look at the forums. 
 
How did you miss this.
#32 Edited by Atomasist (2817 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Currently no.

#33 Posted by BrendenDonaher (88 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

This bombcast thing is really dissapointing. I will probably end up subscribing, but like. Man. Tough call. 

#34 Posted by Vendetta (435 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

That's a telling poll. If it's at all accurate, Whiskey will make the money they deserve.
 
For me personally, no.

#35 Posted by DanP (45 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

No because I'm a child and demand everything for FREE! Whaaaa you have to wait a week to hear half the bombcast then i wont get to use the staffs inside jokes on the forums in a timely manner so everyone knows how cool I am. boooohoooo! how can you split your userbase who takes and takes and takes without giving anything in return. You guys have fucking sold out by wanting a small fee for creating some of the best content on the internets with little return for your time and efforts ;(;(;(. Can't believe you guys would do this to me! now i have to cancel one of my numerous pornographic subscriptions to pay for extra content, I might as well just kill myself to get away from this clusterfuck.   
 
no but really I'm in for the yearly dude.

Looking at it now, I'd say it's bothering about half the people who voted! 
 
For me... probably. 
 
I'M A CORPORATE SHILL!
#37 Posted by CitizenKane (10459 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Yes w/ the yearly model.

#38 Posted by CannonGoose (350 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Looks like I'm going to have to wait to subscribe. Not enough money right now!

#39 Posted by Unchained (1079 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I will absolutely be doing the Yearly Subscription thing, day fucking one. 

#40 Posted by Daveyo520 (6548 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

No, I have no money.

#41 Posted by Chuggsy (554 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago
@DanP: I agree with this sarcastic post.
 
I feel like they fully deserve my money. The site is amazing, one of my favorites. I'm glad I get to pay them for all this content I've been getting for free for so long.

#43 Posted by scarace360 (4828 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

This site has given me more fun and laughs then well alot of things so hell ya.

#44 Posted by Tireyo643 (5695 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

No.

#45 Posted by DoctorWelch (2612 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Never EVER EVER!!! What they are doing is terrible. I was all for giving them some cash until about an hour ago.

#46 Posted by DanP (45 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago
@DoctorWelch: Your logic is flawless.
#47 Posted by twhalen (125 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Yes, the year subscription, day one. The joy of supporting a small, independent website that I love and keeping all the Whiskey guys in business is enough incentive for me.

#48 Posted by JeanLuc (3317 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I can't. I have no money. 

#49 Posted by Necrotoxin (138 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Yes/ Year.

#50 Posted by Skytylz (3803 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I was going to some time, but the bombcast thing made me decide I'm not going to support it and I removed Giantbomb for my list of exceptions in Adblock.
