Why don't they want us to see this site streaming on TV? Is it the escapist membership fees? I would gladly sign up if I were able to watch this content streaming to my HDTV as well as my computers/laptops. If Hulu and Netflix are doing it as well as several others why can't The Escapist?!

Probably the possibility of someone pirating their material, which likely happens anyway. I wouldn't know, however, because there's really no point in pirating Escapist videos since they're all available for free anyway. And most of them frankly aren't that good, compared to many film and movie offerings.

Because we like keepin' it old skool.

I've never heard of that, but perhaps it's some licensing issue? Just speculating.

If you really want to know, ask Spinwhiz, he's the marketing/product guy.
Or that.

Edit: I also like the only poll options being negative. That'll win you friends.

Don't wanna lose their membership values. Also, I think what you wrote for the second poll option is a bit of a dick move.

Only offering 2 options on your poll shows your own narrow minded-ness.

Buy a media streamer. Then you can watch everything from your computer on your tv. Then you can avoid making silly polls.

Bias poll is Bias.

One possiblity is that if they put the videos elsewhere people will stop coming to the site? Which is very community oriented.
