I seriously can't get over this, it's way too hilarious. This is the literal timeline of events for me.
Subscription service idea first announced
"I literally cannot wait to give these guys my money. How do they do it?"
Subscription idea is fleshed out
"HD videos sounds neat, and a free t-shirt? Yeah, I think these guys know how to make a pay model"
Final pricing and feature list released
"A little more expensive than I can afford right now, but 50 for the year is what I'm paying for Xbox Live anyways. Sounds like a good value proposition, just not right now"
Bombcast split
"Hahahah, oh man, those GiantBomb guys...they...they sure know a good joke. Right? I mean, haha, wow, just...just a bunch of practical joksters...yeah, right? I mean...no way they think...but...not even fucking IGN does that!"
