It's also a very bad sign that they've buried this announcement at the bottom of another announcement, a lot of people aren't going to realize this even happened until it's too late to redeem their credits at 100% and be really mad and not pay another dime on principle.

Excellent point. At the very least, this is not a good look.

I think this is a potentially positive look at this. This removes some of the motivation for entering the same old teams just to win credits.

Probably a few people will drop off the site out of principle of the change, but let's face it - most of us are addicted enough that it will take more than this to make us drop out.

mwett hasn't entered a team in at least two months.

I don't think it has anything to do with him in particular.

There really aren't that many owners who are "successful" enough to go years with having to spend money. Very few actually.

Most owners who win big, also spend big, look at those guys' profile and you'll see that they play 25-30+ teams at a time. That will eat up a ton of credits.

Personally, I can't see a positive in that move, and like 06gsp pointed out, I very much dislike how they weaseled the announcement underneath the main announcement, reminds me of the way corrupt politicians work.

I think this change sucks. The amount of prize support they give out is tiny as a fraction of total tournament entries. It just shouldn’t make much of a difference to the bottom line to make this change. Will paying for half a season with reward points cost half as much as it used to or are they literally cutting prize support in half?
