PG, the entity most responsible for the shameless commoditization of America’s former pass time at the youth level, has outdone themselves. The repackaged DiamondKast, raised the price, and no longer offer live streams of games that they clearly show a camera icon on. That, combined with their very liberal use of the phrases “Live Streaming” and “Play by Play” coverage, when their interface is nothing more than a slightly better, and much more expensive version of GameChanger, (except that app also has an AI doing play-by-play audio) is tantamount to false advertising. I hope they enjoy this first month of subscription fees they extracted from people like myself, and many other parents that I have spoken with, because we won’t be renewing.
As for PerfectGameTV, it’s pretty worthless. At least it’s free, a word that you never see in relation to anything that PG is involved in presenting. If they can make a nickel off of kids playing a game, they have time and time again, shown a willingness to stoop as low as necessary to do it.
