A million percent , this is not a one and done plan, I have hopes for next year an all women's league

To be fair there aren’t millions of people asking for any of the things the OS crowd focuses on either.

Companies run focus groups all the time. They’ll basically pay you like $40 to answer questions. You ask a woman though would they be interested in a game if it had better female representation of course they are going to say yes. It doesn’t mean they’re going to go out and buy the game though lol. Being interested in something and being interested enough to pay for privilege are two separate things

Is there an actual women's league? If not, I know, "it's a video game, it's fantasy," but would they literally just invent a league full of teams, with made up players? We'd really be putting the cart before the horse then lol.

Well league of their own was based off a real women's league, they could create that. Is there another one around it's possible not sure. It's hard to say what they can and can't do cause money is always involved to use a person's name, leagues name, etc. but I can't imagine this was a one year deal. Has to be part of a bigger plan
