Lets be honest, we all love buzzerbeater.
Back in season 10-15 buzzer beater had 50-60k users with the year supporter costing 30€. The game remained the same since then, i left 10 years ago, i came back and its still the same game, with the same UI and the same engine. It keeps losing people and i wonder why this game never changed.
Some times you need to invest to get a profit, especially when you have the opportunity and the money you have to be clever and use them wisely.
We paid supporter, because we wanted to support and hope that this can lead to a change. I am not going to invest money on a game that does not seem to respect the users, i am not going to donate more money for hope!
Once i used my facebook page with some likes to advertise it, i even sent messages to people with basketball pages with thousands of likes to help us out. I did what i had to do, but you know something, i shouldnt be doing all this. This is not my job, its just something that i have fun and i want it to be alive, thats why i did it.
At the end of the day, if it is us trying to keep the game alive, why dont we just create an open source project, where there will be many people contributing, and you know where your money goes, as you can track everything? lol
