[Eckstein 4 Prez]

Look, I get it. Perfect Team is where the money's at. It's a big ol' Skinner box and those whales are generating piles of money for y'all. No judgment - the game itself is still very good, and those are voluntary transactions.

And it's super cool that OOTP is getting all this exposure from mainstream outlets desperate for something baseball-related to show the world. That's great, and a pretty far cry from 18 years ago when I learned that some German dude had created a career baseball simulator that looked pretty promising. Great work, all of you!

But when I click the box that says "don't show me this again," I don't mean:

- "Don't show me this again until the very next time I start up OOTP."
- "Don't show me this again, but by all means inundate me with pop-up ads about every little item you can think of that's OOTP-related - I probably wasn't serious about clicking that box anyway."
- "Don't show me this exact ad again, but I'd love to see about one of these every other day, advertising different Perfect Team promotions I have no interest in."
- "Actually, you know what? Go ahead and show me this exact ad again, but make it in like three weeks, when whatever Perfect Team crap you were promoting is now hopelessly out of date."

Can't we live and let live? I don't mind that Perfect Team exists and that the whales exist - hell, I play Perfect Team. (I love the tournaments.) But the thing is, I'm never going to be a whale no matter how many pop-up ads you show me. I'm just going to be an increasingly annoyed person, especially when you give me a button to stop this garbage and the garbage continues.

Just a little feedback from someone who's been playing this game for long enough that, if my OOTP career were a person, it'd be graduating from high school this year.
