I'm out
Got bored. Auctioned off all my players for cheap to some lucky strangers. Squandered my PP until I was down to 5 on each of my accounts. Got a nastygram from the admins, for my efforts. My work here is done. Ciao.

You can't please all the people all of the time.
Take care.

You people jumping the OP are counterproductive. I mean, this is a guy who’s likely been a customer since at least 2009.
But whatever. Suit yourselves. I’ve had since OOTP 1 and I’ve never seen such vitriol at customers by customers. Almost as if there’s psychological issues at play with addiction to the mode. Weird, whodathunkit. Oh yeah. Me.

I'm amazed you are amazed since I have said sadly I wont give them another dime but I have bought this and every OOTP game since 1 so I have every right and was asked by Markus to try it. I am also amazed that you misrepresent where even I said the mode is fun. Things can be wrong and fun. I believe the model of this mode is immoral to the extent an for the reasons I've previously outlined. You can disagree, as I've said as well. But the level of vitriol again, and flat out lies like yours and the one above from the guy with the Brewers avatar (that said I didn't play it) well, that's not productive. And it's harmful to the game community for this product. I wouldn't give two cents now for any future OOTPD product if they got rid of the gambling aspects because of the many people I've seen mobbed on this forum by sycophants with torches and pitchforks without word one from the devs. But proceed with your lies. Res ipsa loquitur and Adios, muchachos.

That's the problem with the written word. The reader can mistakenly come up with opposite emotions they think the writer had. In some of the past years of OOTP forums, there were guys that would have responded "Goodbye threads suck", but luckily that hasn't been the case here.

I'm not sure I understand the motifs of anybody throwing knives in this thread, including the OP doing the weirdest victory lap. Can't we just play ball?

I understand all too well

I think it was Steve Garvey who said, "The old player cared about the name on the front of the uniform. The new ones care about the name on the back." The Twitter-mob mentality that has taken hold of the diehard PT supporters is exactly the sort of nonsense that the Honorable Gentleman from the People's Republic of California was referring to. It's destructive as hell. Do I have a PT entry? Sure. Am I enjoying it? Not at all. It's anathema to turn baseball into a financial whorehouse. That's what Curt Flood and the 9 Black Robed Simpletons did back in the 70's, and free agency has ruined the game ever since. Also, Airdrop01 is spot on—the level of vitriol is staggering. It'll break our community if we aren't careful. Censorship of posts is ongoing. Prior to this, the only posts that got pulled were because somebody went full a****le. There's a lot of bullying and name calling and cheap middle school sarcasm now—and it's being ignored. It'll only get worse. You see, without PT, we all paid our $40 (or less) and played as equals. We cooperated. We were like a family—not without differences, but with a common bond. That's no longer going to be the case. Eventually, in all monetized systems, a mentality of entitlement develops among the monied. It's part of the ugly side of human nature. It's a damned shame that PT wasn't just a separate product entirely. That would have solved so many problems. |

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. Quote:
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.

And I have elaborated at length, multiple times, why there can't be such leagues. It is not a valid business model. That is why it will never happen, and there does not need to be any discussion about but whyyyyy...

Get your facts straight. Curt Flood lost and the SC had no role in the Seitz decision.
