Game of Thrones is a weekly show, and the rhythm of each episode and final scene is improved by the week in between. Shows like Daredevil were built from the ground up for binge viewing everyone involved knew from the start that's how many, if not most, people would be enjoying the show. You're depriving yourself of the fun week that takes place between each episode by binging on four low-quality rips from this season. Game of Thrones has taken over the water cooler, and the thrill of not knowing what's going to happen next is a part of that. It's a show that's enjoyable to watch in the moment before you get spoiled online, but then the second fun bit comes from the conversations that happen online.ĭid you see this? What did you think of that? How did the books handle it? What do you think will happen next? Game of Thrones lives by its plot twists, surprise moments and tense conversations. There is a real fear that HBO's competitors will decide not to try the same approach if piracy continues or even increases after HBO has done so much to improve and expands its service. This leak isn't likely to have a huge impact on the company's business, but it's hard to justify trying to remove any of the company's revenue via piracy when HBO is so far ahead of its competitors in terms of meeting the customer halfway. In other words, HBO gets it in a way that's rare in the modern content industry. Game of Thrones is now shown on the same date in most markets. The company has taken a laissez faire approach to dealing with customers sharing their HBO Go logins. The app is exclusive to Apple devices for now, but you can simple borrow someone's iPhone to create an account than watch on your laptop. You can pay $15 a month for HBO Now if you want to pay for the channel without a cable subscription. You'll never be able to stop piracy, but HBO has consistently been the company that has tried to offer a service to at least compete with it.

Why rush to watch an ugly version of such a beautiful show? HBO is one of the few cable channels doing it right

Hell, once the shows air you'll likely be able to pirate HD versions of each episode if you know where to look. Game of Thrones is a show that lives in the details, and sacrificing a high definition image just to see the show a few weeks early seems like madness.Ĭritics watch a version of the show that's significantly worse than the beautiful image offered via any other method. It's a good value proposition for those of us covering the show, but for fans? It's the worst way to watch. HBO sends the content on a set of DVDs, containing standard definition versions of each episode. We're able to get our coverage schedules, recaps and reviews all lined up nicely before the shows air but no one is ever going to claim the screeners themselves are the best way to experience the show. Screeners have immense value for critics due to their timing, not their video quality. "We’re actively assessing how this breach occurred." "Sadly, it seems the leaked four episodes of the upcoming season of Game of Thrones originated from within a group approved by HBO to receive them." HBO said in a statement. You can't stop the signal though, and the first four episodes of season 5 have been leaked online.

HBO has always had an uneasy but not directly hostile relationship with Game of Thrones piracy, and the company has recently taken steps towards improving how the show is offered in order to make the product itself easier to access.
