I don’t believe this at all. If you bought the game SDS made their money already. I havnt spent a dime more than price of the game and I Play, visit this forum, and flip on the market hours a day. Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see how SDS is making money off of me since March when I dropped that initial $60 and they have my full gaming attention 10 months out of the year. If anything I think this forum takes money from SDS because all there is to learn on here is how to generate a stupid amount of stubs without shelling out cash and also that buying packs with those stubs is like lighting them on fire. Before I found this forum I spent all my stubs on packs and I felt like I would have to pay money to get specific players I wanted. Now I’m 100 confident I can get any player I want, when I want without buying stubs, packs or anything. If This conspiracy were true it would be the most incredibly ignorant allocation of company resources in my opinion
I'm wagering most of the extra money spent is in the first month after release. Everyone trying to get that early edge.
That's when cards are purchased, long before folks have gotten far enough along in the game to be stacked with diamonds through challenges and what not. SDS, likely, doubles their sales during that period.
I'm sure after the first few weeks the stubs purchasing craters.

What is your definition of "conspiracy theory"..and then compare it to what lengths a software gaming company would go to market a game.
Especially to market a game to give it the best possible posture. that it is competitive and purchasing additional cards will help you, the customer, be more competitive.
If a sports gaming company isn't able to create an online environment that creates the illusion of competition...it will fail. Who would go online and play a complete stranger KNOWING the code decides the outcome? Rhetorical question.
If you honestly think that the code decides the outcome in this game then why do you play it? NOT a rhetorical question. Seriously guy. If you honestly believe this game has some sort of nefarious comeback logic programmed into the code that completely takes the game out of your hands, then why are you wasting your time playing it (and then wasting even more time whining about it on the forums)?
I don't play it. I quit playing it a couple weeks ago. I feel a responsibility to show solidarity with the others on this forum that like to remind everyone this is an RNG. All the promoting and marketing and talking up the next great challenge, and debating who the best catcher is.....it's all BS.
Just need to keep the coalition of skeptics strong. Otherwise the naïve and young will be brains washed with no opportunity to get the real scoop. It's important.
For the record, if you believe baseless conspiracy theories you’re not a skeptic. You’re gullible.
Baseless conspiracy? ha..ha..ha..and one last ha. Whatever.

Yes, I just read your analogy comparing SDS to a serial killer. You’ve got issues.
Also, your theory on protests making a difference. The kneeling and other silly political [censored] the pro athletes are doing that will actually get you fired in most workplaces. Politics and workplaces should never be mixed.
Well that theory is likely going to prove correct. Because the protesting (i.e. rioting and racism) had deep effect..on those in this country that are offended by it. Going to cost the protesters another 4 years of Republican Presidency.
But, that's not what this forum is about. I'll stick to refuting the fact there is any semblance of competition in The Show.
It looks like my assumptions about your politics were correct. Thanks for confirming.
Protests were effective with colonialism in India, apartheid in South Africa, and in the US with women’s suffrage and civil rights. Read a book. Or at least watch something other than Alex Jones.
“Politics and sports should never be mixed.” Is that what you would have said about Jackie? Or worse, given your politics, Jesse Owens?
“Politics and workplaces should never be mixed.” Have your ever heard of a union? Who do you think fought for the 40 hr work week, higher wages, and job benefits?
-
You've likely never worked in a union shop. But, you like to talk about it as if you know.
In union shops you are not allowed to conduct union business, send union emails, texts, etc. during company time. Union meetings are conducted during non-working hours. My dad was a union steward for years with a state agency. It was a disciplinary offense (up to instant firing) to campaign, protest, hang political signs, collect $ for fund raisers, protest, kneel for a candidate, whatever symbolic silliness that was obviously supporting a political ideology on company grounds.

Current AFSCME member, former NEA member. Both actually carve out time for union business. There is also something called a strike that intentionally disrupts regular business. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.
But this is probably good to post when you are losing an argument and have nothing of substance to contribute.
-
Well, you are wrong about AFSCME for sure. Union biz is done during Union time. If it doesn't align with your work schedule you're allowed to take Personal time to attend. So, I'm not going to argue with someone that could very likely not even yet be in the workforce.
But, fact remains..probably no action the Left could have spawned more self-damaging than the "peaceful protests" (AKA riots and racisim). It cost them the election. And, over the next 4 years...you're going to see much more Federal presence and force when these vile acts of terrorism are attempted.
Enuf about politics..how 'bout them Cubs?
-
As far as strikes go...most contracts anymore have "no strike" clauses. Of course, you probably already knew that, huh?
-
Just to clarify... You no longer play the game, but you waste your life — and ours — by trolling these forums to whine about how you couldn’t hold leads so the game must obviously have been out to get you?
I hate you.

I didn't pull that out of nothing.

At best there are maybe a couple hundred that post here.
Are you saying there are just thousands upon thousands that just read this forum?

There isn't a need to count, if you hang around here regularly, it's as plain as day that there are maybe a couple hundred.
But if you want to make that claim, go ahead, look even sillier. Claim that there "thousands upon thousands" on this forum.

Nope..I post here in the hopes of offering a voice for the voiceless. The naïve and downtrodden that believe there truly exists competition in this game. They get angry at their selves for not being better. They get depressed...they internalize their losses. Hopefully, it doesn't extend further than that.
But, I hope myself and many out here with similar convictions can paint a true picture of how this game works. You lose because the software dictates it so. You win for the very same reason. Never..ever..fault yourself or abilities for something you have no control of.
Many of us crusade for the oppressed, we do our very best to deliver truth. That's all. I apologize for trying to help people..it's just how I do.

Section 1. Union Activity During Working Hours
Employees shall, after giving appropriate notice to their supervisor(including the location and approximate duration of the meeting), be allowed reasonable time off with pay during working hours to attend grievance hearings, labor/management meetings, negotiations of their own agency and/or facility supplemental agreements, meetings covering modifications of supplemental agreements, committee meetings and activities if such committees have been established by this Contract, or meetings called or agreed to by the Employer, if such employees are entitled or required to attend such meetings by virtue of being Union representatives, stewards, witnesses, or grievants, and if such attendance does not substantially interfere with the Employer's operations.”Good night, troll.

The developers pretty much said this a tiny minority of the game
