That was not the point. The point was you didnt make any changes based on the feedback. You made neo free and restricted the division. Just stated the facts. 

The facts are also that core and lite benefits little to none of these changes but still has pretty "high" fees for entry. So in that case you basically pays for someone elses entertainment.

For example, Lite has 64 teams and licences cost 12 800 € total and Lite still has only prize pool of 3 620 €. I also think that the prize pool don't even matter at this level for the most of the players (below pro). 

Elite teams pay 8 000€ and their prize pool is 13 000€. 

Sounds a little bit wrong, as Lite don't  even have scheduled regular season games broadcasted as Elite has? What do we get more with this amount of money,  as it surely ain't in the prize pool or directly serving our division.

This frustration can be seen in many replies in this section and yet, this is your response and don't seem to get it, sportsgamer. 

I sure have started negotiating with RoKi about the payments but I still think that you got wrong strategy here, even if I wouldn't need to pay anything from my own pocket. 

It's understandable that there should be some payments for running the whole thing and that should be the player based license or team licenses are equal to the amount we are getting back.

Some have stated that you can't have any hobby for free (hockey, football etc.) In those cases, you are paying directly to the factors that keep your hobby running. Referees get their payments, rents are fulfilled for the organizers and etc. But we do it even though there's no any prize pool as we know what we are getting and happy with that. We surely aren't paying with amateur leagues payments the costs of the Liiga or Mestis 🤭
