First of all, nobody makes you play PT personally, you can always just play the singleplayer game where nobody bothers you. Also, "dragged out of Eden" is the sort of hyperbole that incinerates the majority of discussions. People can't get to first place in their entry pool because somebody dropped a couple of $100 bills on the game and has six perfects and a 20-game lead in the pool, and they act like the guy just entered their home, violated their dog, and took a dump on the lawn. Everything is blown out of proportion (but it always is with online multiplayer gaming, which is why I usually steer clear...).

Point is, nobody has to stop playing OOTP. PT wasn't in your life a month ago, no need to keep PT in your life when other people spending more money than you want to / can afford to are aggravating your blood pressure.

Yeah, baseball was so much better when players were slaves to the owners.

It is not. They are closing the 192nd and 193rd demands for free-to-play-only leagues, as they should do when it has been stated 191 times that they are not in the cards. Pun intended.
