BuzzerBeater Forums

The private league, customised team options, and having a second team - hopefully in my home country - are nice reasons to support the site, beyond what it offers for free.

Second Team Option is always located in Utopia.

Thanks for the clarification!

Bro it’s like 30 euros a year

Well observed. I don't recall complaining about that, however 'bro'.

In my eyes it doesn't make sense to put QoL features behind a paywall. You need QoL to prevent users from abandoning your game because it's a pain to play. It's a hygiene factor, not a nice extra. Things like forum search, sending and keeping messages, bookmarks should all be basic functionality accessible to everyone. I would assume not having this is losing the owners more users/money than it provides from users paying for supporter they wouldn't otherwise pay for.

Generally you're right, but I think BuzzerBeater is the odd one out. I'm a digital product designer so I defo understand the importance of the points you made, but I doubt this game ever lost an otherwise active user because of not being able to write very very long messages and such.

Bookmarking is the only stand out feature that isn't just a minor perk for supporters, but my assumption is that making it available for every user would only see BB lose supporters (due to one big reason less to be one) rather than gain supporters (or free users even). Since there isn't a real BB competitor with better user experience we can only assume the aftermath of such decisions. Still, I firmly believe that in the grand scheme of things (to drive in more people daily, to generate more income) not having these functions available to all have zero impact, no matter how essential they are.

But all new QoL features (e.g auto-bid) being free points to the right direction. Maybe I shouldn't argue against making these features accessible at all, but my honest opinion is that becoming a supporter is the best and a perfectly sufficient solution to the problem. It's the wrong attitude to tell others where to spend their money, but really, the plans are fairly priced
