My mom and dad might think that subscribing to HBO and Showtime is worth the money, but why would someone like me ever do that? I can watch any show I want, online, for free, at great quality, whenever I want. Sure, call me a freeloader and just focus on servicing your paying subscribers. Fine. But those paying subscribers won't be around forever and when they are gone, you won't be in any position to service the consumers that you previously chose to ignore. Simply saying "we are making money right now with this format, so there is no reason to innovate our product and position it better for the future," is a recipe for disaster.

Still not answering the question, and it's a pretty basic one.
Why will using an every game streaming for free model draw new fans to the game that haven't already been drawn to the multiple free vieiwing options they already provided with?
That's it. A simple question.
