I am very understanding where people are not going to put down money because they can't, or because they won't on principle. But I am also a tax accountant dealing with companies making terrible decisions every single day. For OOTPD, artificially restricting the money flow would be the most terrible decision to make.
Like it or not. The increased income will help to make OOTP better in the future. Games like these are potential gold mines. Who ever blew up their own gold mine? The only thing separating OOTPD from suffocating in money now is an MLB Player tweeting out how he drew himself (Diamond or above, please) in Perfect Team.
Can you even IMAGINE the amount of money that would generate? And they should forfeit that? You can't be serious. But you might actually be one of my clients.....

Don't ever say never. If there is a study made that would prove a model like that would generate extra revenue (example, it would increase the consumer base by 30%), it WILL happen.
The OOTP crowd has been generally very stoic and reluctant to change as a whole. I'm not pointing this bit necessarily at you, but things don't stay the same forever and over the years of reading these boards, I've found a lot of people here struggle with the notion of change.
PT will evolve over time that you like it or not, it will not always be just what we have now with tournaments thrown in in OOTP20. 5 years from now, there will be a lot more to that (it would make no sense whatsoever to not grow on the foundation). While different league structures are a big no for now, again, once the market evolves, IF it's shown that Markus et al can grow bigger profit margins by doing different things, they will.
