Separately, we want to give everyone a heads-up on an account policy update.
Beginning March 24 at 11:59 PM ET, purchases on WhatIfSports will be able to use credits for up to 50% of the purchase price, with the remaining amount paid using standard payment methods.
For most users this will not change anything - the vast majority of purchases already fall within that range. If you currently have a larger credit balance, you’ll have the next two weeks to use credits normally before the update takes effect.
Importantly, existing credits are not being removed and the credit earning structure will remain the same. This change simply updates how credits can be applied to purchases as we continue modernizing the platform and investing in new improvements like the SimLeague Baseball mobile app.
Since I can't reply in-thread to the critical news, just want to put out somewhere that Admin can see that this change makes it pretty much a coinflip whether I will continue to play HBD at all, and I have put a good chunk of money in over the years to boot.
If "the vast majority of purchases" are unaffected then that suggests a change actually isn't needed, or that this is targeting a specific cohort of player. Extremely curious to know what games/types of users this is targeting since it seems to be a ham-fisted solution.
