The idea would be to use it as a marketing strategy. You're thinking of it the way the AFL are doing so, only for instant profit, and that means we'll never get a decent game, ever. The AFL blows millions on other things, why not invest long term in a billion dollar industry? That's what FIFA did, before anybody knew what it even was. "Evolution just has more depth and modern touches, as it should" It plays like the PS2 games.
Im pretty sure Ross from Big Ant said a while back that AFL only want instant profit, or to balance the books so to speak. thats why Big Ant got shelved, because they wanted to take their time and build a great game and go upwards, even if it started off taking a financial hit. Considering the AFL is getting all invested in e-sports , it's strange that they don't seem to comprehend the impact a great game can have on the sport. Gee whiz the only reason i ever gathered any interest in Basketball, American Football and even Ice Hockey is because i played their video games.
