Where do these subscription services draw the line on content tho? Probably somewhere above poker..although I suppose it could be a good fit for ESPN+. The problem is that they aren't going to drive many subscriptions from poker content. The poker market is literally too small for Amazon/Netflix/Hulu to care about. That being said live content is in demand. WWE's stock has tripled in the past year.
In regards to complaints I have a few more:
1) In March there was a Super High Roller Bowl in Macau. I recall PokerCentral branding on the event and yet the event was never broadcast on PokerGo. This was very disappointing. I ended up watching the stream on DouYu which is like a Chinese version of Twitch. I couldn't understand the commentary but it looks like the players were having a good time.
2) PokerGo needs more flexibility in airing WSOP final tables. I'm not one that actually cares about the prelim events much but if Hellmuth is going for history or if Phil Ivey makes his return with a final table they need to air that ****. Last year they ended up airing some final table that nobody cared over one with a huge name making a run.
3) I love that PokerGo covers every day of the main event. However, last year they did not have live coverage of the entire day...it was more like 1/2 or 2/3rds of the day. Air the entire day!
