It's pretty simple: SDS wants people to spend money, and their developers openly despise the people who play the game and really despise people who don't like sabermetrics. The outrage is real
pretty sure SDS is a company whose goal is to maximize revenue, just like every other company on the planet. Whether gathering it a little from everyone and build brand loyalty for “the long con” or soaking the whales and getting everything up front and burn everything down afterwards, thats for the bean counters to determine. Not going to be mad that a company chooses to stay alive in a manner which they choose to determine the best course.
