I've been an on and off again player for a few years now... I believe it was around season 16 - 22 that I got really into the game, quit once, and came back, before ultimately quitting again (until a few days ago)...

I didn't have a particular reason for quitting, even back then I always thought the game was well crafted and very enjoyable...

With that being said, the game can be quite time consuming. It takes a lot of time to learn the ins and outs of the game system...

(As opposed to something like 2K which has moved away from SIM and more into the realm of arcade-ism by laying every stat, rating, etc. out for you right from the get go)

For what it's worth I think the supporter feature is priced too high... As a semi-diehard fan of this game I'd consider buying it at this price point, I can't see any casual player doing the same.

Maybe they should do a lesser Supporter package with fewer options or with more limited ones. For example, you pay half but you get 10 bookmarks instead of 50, 6 skill search on TL instead of 8 etc etc.

I don't know about all of you, but I believe in the product we're selling.

Rather than argue about all these trivial points I think we should focus on what the actual problem is. The game is struggling to bring in users, and struggling to keep them. New users aren't leaving because they're worried about equal minutes or all these other bells and whistles that they don't even understand yet.

In my mind the problem is - how do we go about better advertising the game, and what can we offer new users so that they quickly get hooked? I don't think the problem has anything to do with the actual game.

New users with enthusiasm would make the game more interesting for sure, we don't need to change the game, we just need new managers, with them the game is immediately more interesting (Y) more people - more fun.

THen again maybe they like to keep it simple and straightforward. Perhaps they see that as fairer and more honest.

...OR, they don't have a clue about running a business, which might be a fair guess. Maybe they just don't give a damn anymore, which might be true too, as we all know the narrative that the BBs have "real" jobs now.

There are many different ways to squeeze more money out of us and most of those have been decribed, mentioned or talked about - if nothing has happened in this are we should assume that the money generated right now is good enough, so no need to worry honestly.
