Why can't the feature supporter be free? Or way less than what it cost now??
I bet lots of players would like to have tehir flags full and see it to be proud but they need to be a supporter...

Wouldn't it be easier if it was free, or cost way less than it does.

BuzzerBeater uses the income from Supporter purchases to pay for the ongoing costs of developing and improving the game.

The money that we take in from Supporter purchases goes directly into covering our costs of running the game (paying for server hosting, corporate expenses, and many more -- running a company isn't cheap!)

We are committed to providing a free game for those who don't wish to pay for the Supporter package, since we feel that there will be a bigger and better community this way. Many users purchase the Supporter package to help support the development of the game, or because they would like to have a better experience playing it.

We will be releasing new Supporter features every so often, so the value of the Supporter package will continue to increase. Most of our users who get the Supporter package feel that it's a really good investment, given how many hours they play BB over the course of a few months :-)

Hope this helps answer your question!

it's actually not so bad. $4.00 a month for the 3-month option isn't exactly a huge pressure on finances. compared to the other online games that run much like this one (i.e. Hattrick, Soccer Manager, or Sokker) the price is pretty reasonable. the extra features are nice. definitely adds to the game. and then there is the programming aspect to the situation. supporter features cause a little bit of stress on the servers, which is why the forum search wasn't made available to everyone.

There is not much use you have of Supporter anyway. Sure you get some stats but those are pretty meaningless as it mainly indicates which players that gets most playing time in combination with type of tactic. Nothing I would use as help before a match. Big advantage is that you can list players that you consider buyinh in your favorites.

Only reason I have supporter though is that I like the game and I think that the owners deserve to have some payback for the work they are doing with the game. Also increases the chances of an even better product in the future (not that I find much to complain about).

This is the only managergame I have supporter for. The only one that deserves it!

I'd say the Private Leagues are a pretty big feature.

Not sure you will have much help for your team though, or you think you can have that much valuable information from these games?
