Thank you all for replying but I didn't mean to distract from the overall point/question by suggesting there could be 2 levels of supporter!
I wouldn't mind how the pricing worked and whether it not it was bundled into an all or nothing supporter package. I'm just curious if there were a host of improvements paid for by an investor in BB would this be worthwhile?ie supported by us by paying for it?
if not then bb will just have to harness as best it can people power to voluntarily do coding and donations to continue development.
Another way of looking at it - if there was a basketball equivalent of "football manager" online would this attract interest?
FM Online was great (& I was great at it :D)
Paying small amounts to play arcade games vs anyone you choose would be great but you'll never replicate (challenge!) FM Online with what we have here..... they had the foundation of the FM series and if there ever was the chance to play something similar using the early work thats gone on in here then great, but it just aint happening anytime soon.
