If it's not worth paying why are you even bitching? OMG THIS SUX I CAN'T WATCH IT I WANT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR PAYING MEMBERS BUT I REFUSE TO PAY THIS SITE IS LAME.

@ThePilgrums:
I'm saying that hopefully they don't go crazy with it. Its perfectly fine for them to have stuff for paying members but it can be a bad thing if they go overboard with it. Say they decide to make quick looks member only videos, that goes into way too much of the video base on the site. But say they do more things like these fun little stuff for members is fine. I can even understand that if they ever do another Endurance Run they do have the option to make it member only. Just saying if they start making the core parts of the site "pay to hit play" then they will have gone a bit too far.

" @HairyPterodactyl:   Dude, theres the coorporate mentality, then there's BEING ABLE TO PAY FOR THE VIDEOS THEY MAKE.  I want more videos and am happy to fund more videos. You are not getting less content, members are simply paying them to make more. You want more, you can pay.  Im sick of you socialist idiots with the business sense of a 5 year old. Add these up: payroll, rent, bandwidth, workcover, insurance, travel, equipment for a 12 month period. I will help u start - if they guys get paid a shitty 50k a year.. by 20 or so employees, thats a million dollars a year just for salary.   10, 000 subs by $50 equals HALF A MILLION DOLLARS... thats right... not even enough to pay wages... LET ALONE MAKING FREE VIDEOS FOR YOU!  Stop being a leach, stop accusing these guys of 'selling out'. They have to eat, they need money to make the content... WAKE UP TO YOURSELF!   Grrrr makes me so mad. "

" This video is available to paid members only.  That really scares me, i really hope GB doesn't start going down the course of subscribe to watch. hopefully only for some things but if it spreads to too many vids then it will go downhill. "
This is a subscriber only feature from its inception. How does that "really scare you"? They need to give people SOME incentive to subscribe, otherwise what's the point of paid memberships?  Or are you just scared you might *GASP* have to pay money to see every single new feature they make? "
The way you are embellishing his argument, and completely bypass his original sentiment to make it seem less important really frustrate me. 
 
First of all, I AM NOT ARGUING THAT THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE GIVEN TO NON-MEMBERS.

 
But look, they gave some incentive to subscribe, something you left out.  Things like HD, and the bombcast were examples of this.  If you feel that more member only content is necessary, that's fine.  Don't go saying this is the only such incentive.
 
Secondly, don't embellish the argument that he believes its a scary thought that they can just take any video from non members.   If they *GASP* make every single feature a pay-only option, that's a PRETTY FUCKING BIG DEAL.  It's also something that I am legitimately concerned with, but my opinions are beside the point of this post, which is to point out that you, and a bunch of other members are making pompous jackasses out of yourself.

Look, if this were a Quick Look or an Endurance Run and people said "I don't like this. This stuff used to be free." it would be a valid complaint. But this is a feature that's sole purpose is to be members only. This would not exist if it weren't for the membership program. I don't see what's concerning here. 
 
There will be tons of features in the future. Some  (most, I'd say) will be free, some won't be. I don't see the problem. Because to me, what's being offered right now for $50 a year really isn't entirely worth it. The only reason I paid is to support a site I like. HD videos are nice, but not $50 nice. So I'd like to see at least one more members only weekly feature.  Nothing important like reviews or Quick Looks or other game coverage, but more goofy fun like this.

For non-subs, this is actually pretty good for you, having to wait about a week for this video, good patience training before you head into the real world, where there will be things in life you have to wait longer then a week for =/
 
Ok how about this.. imagine this video is an awesome game, with sweet online multiplayer and sexy graphics!.. but it's only available for members only! oh no! BUT!.. if you are good and wait for a week.. you'll get for FREE! :) Isn't that cool? :D

This is fine by me.  I am, however, slightly concerned that they can take any video from us at their whim.  If they were willing to mutilate the bombcast, who knows what they might do.  Neither you or I have a feint idea of their ideas to gain new members.

Hmm, ok my bad my bad =P I thought they said this would be free for everyone once it's archived. I suppose they need exclusive membership content for people that have applied or are going to.

glad to see the subscription money is being well spent..  LOL just kidding i really liked it and appreciate you guys going the extra mile by giving us special stuff like this.  a few suggestions tho?
 
this special needs emphasis on a few things:
-more drinking.  less watching people talking and nursing their beers.  drink them harder.
-the addition of a little competitive gaming maybe?  quick access party type stuff i think..  PS3 Move stuff, SSF4 grudge matches, etc.  just give us something you can drink and talk trash at each other to.  maybe not even video game related actually..  play asshole with a deck of cards for all i care.  :-)  but something to help you guys and us guys be entertained whilst doing this could be a benefit
 
again great stuff keep it up!

Dude. it had next to nothing to with video games. It's just goofy fun. Goofy fun that would not exist if not for paid memberships, so you wouldn't be getting this anyway. People pay Giant Bomb money to stay running, they get stuff in return. What exactly are you entitled to as a free user? The same features that have always been free, that's what. Not new features meant to reward paying members. It's not even much of a reward, and you want to take that from us?

They should just make it free for everyone but have the free one go up as the following week ones is being recorded. Everyone gets what they want and no need to complain. As long as they keep it this pointless stupid shit anyway.
