OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post

I was wondering, since this is such a stats based game, would there be value in the OOTP developers receiving "stats" on how we play this game we enjoy so much?

By stats I guess I mean out keystrokes and/or someway to know that I've created a fictional league vs a 2016 MLB league. I imagine that this specific, data-based, information would somehow be useful to the developers. If nothing else they could see that "Feature A" is getting used extensively while "Feature B" not so much and make development decisions with this knowledge available to them.

I am (obviously?) no computer genius, but to me it seems that feedback given is subjective and sample size limited to those that respond. I played this game for years before joining the forum and I imagine there are many other players that don't join the forum - so there voices are silent.
In today's world of Big Brother I'm sure this ability either exist or could be implemented easily.

Also, would, we, the players want this?

I would.
