Yes, but if they do that, then they run the VERY HIGH risk of severely pissing off the current user base, which will in turn cause said current user base to give GLB the proverbial middle finger and just quit playing all together. I know I would....if they pulled that, I would retire every single one of players, sell every one of my teams, never pay another dime for EITHER of the games, and never play another down of GLB...then they would be right back to where they were when GLB 1 first started and they'd have to try and build a whole new consumer/user base. I call us "consumers", because, let's be honest....we're not customers to GLB, we just consume copious amounts of flex that are purchased with our hard earned money that we will never get back. At least as a "customer", you have a short amount of time to return whatever you purchased for a full refund.
the refund when you retire dots is there to compell you to keep playing. i could never bring myself to walk away until ive used up all my flex. but i still have fun with the game, and i make commitments to people that im not going to back out on. they would have to shut this game down, and the new game would have to suck for me to stop playing. and even then, as long as the forums are still fun ill still keep coming back
