Sounds like integration is happening, whether we like it or not. So let’s take a second to look at it from seble’s point of view:
You have a unique and viable product. Sooo.... Do you take a chance and step into a new forum (with the potential for new exposure), or do you let your site and algorithm remain stagnate to appease your existing, super-devoted (albeit super-limited) fanbase? I was a member years back (under a different name) and loved gridiron dynasty, even wondered at the time why more people didn’t play. Came back to it years later, and of course I wondered why it hadn’t grown in visibility in the interiem. I think this is a positive move towards getting more players involved.
In short: chill out, it’s happening. I think most of us get that. But to all you moaning over lost productivity at work, consider this:
If you’ve had the money, all this time, to re-up in multiple and/or simultaneous dynasties, yet panic when you can’t use your work cpu to access your hypothetical teams.... Don’t worry, you’re essentially losing nothing! It’s a great deal! You’re breaking even, in the long run. All the time and bandwidth you’ve stolen from your employer will even out, now. You can do your ACTUAL job first, and play sports simulations second.
At lunch, on your phone. On break, on your phone. Use the company WiFi. Believe it or not, human beings have endured worse indecencies.
Seriously, how has there been this much backlash against an ostensibly positive development?
