I don't think we’re approaching this the right way. It’s not about discussing whether it’s profitable or not, whether more servers are needed, or whatever.

If an individual or a company decides to open a gaming venue (in the Western World), they have to comply with legal regulations. One of them is non-discrimination against customers based on gender. Their clientele might end up being 99% male, but that’s no excuse for not being required to provide both men’s and women’s restrooms. If they only have men's rooms, they’ll most likely be fined by the relevant authorities.

The same applies to online games. You can't have a game on the market where you can only play in 'male mode.' Most popular games (Fortnite, EA Sports, Hattrick, etc.) understood this simple equation a long time ago.

And what about Buzzerbeater? I hope it doesn’t take too long.

Are you in favor of mixed-teams or gender-segregated leagues?

I don't mind if your ponytailed Sabrina Lyles throws down a powerful two-handed dunk over my Giuseppe Facchini. Game knows game.

What would I like?

I'd love to be able to choose between playing the BB-NBA or the BB-WNBA at the start of the game. I’d also like to see youth development leagues. I think the game engine itself is actually quite well-done.

I hope the new owners commit to opening up the game with new possibilities.

Honestly, what is the point if this discussion?

BB has been stuck in neutral for a while now, with no significant changes on the horizon while we wait for the current owners to "rewrite the whole code" (is this happening)? And even the smallest and most sensible suggestions are pretty much ignored.

And we are discussing adding women's basketball? Seriously?

It’s not about suing anyone; it’s simply about understanding that today’s society isn’t the same as it was 40 years ago. And if you don’t move forward, you end up living in the past. I’m sure that if the creators of BB were starting the game from scratch today, they would design it differently than they did at the end of the last century.

The main problem, in my opinion, is a significant lack of real and sincere communication between BB management and the users. And I’m not talking about that sham at the beginning of every season. I’m also convinced that if this sincere communication existed, BB users would understand. They might not agree with it, but they would understand.
