More important is this insight that just occurred to me as I was reading some posts above. I've often wondered why Markus was reluctant to allow for death in his game, and I assumed that maybe it was because it was a downer or some personal aversion.

But my new thought is this: Most people play with MLB rosters right out of the box, either current or historical, correct? I think that's what Markus says; fictional players are a sizeable group but still a minority.

OK, say Markus puts death in the game and someone notable, or any real player for that matter, "dies"? Isn't that a bit creepy if you are that notable person or know the person? Considering that Markus makes much of his bread and butter by associating with MLB and the Players Association, I can see this being a bit awkward.

Am I over-thinking this?
If he's concerned about MLB issues, then a modified storylines file can be used for MLB games similar to how ped suspensions are off. But i see no reason to not have it on in fictionals. It's simple to do really. All it takes is a cei storyline
