Well see the funny thing is that for countries like Egypt the infrastructure is already there. They have all the teams, the players, the aesthetical data. All they need is the license. Now if you replicate that with three other leagues and then charge £2 and call it the Africa pack. Would you get 10,000 sales? Maybe, maybe not. The question should be is it worth their time. Well yes it would be. Because you're not going to get a solid set of empirical data on the willingness of your userbase to buy DLC if the experiment is going to be using shit like paid for cheats.


Can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if they started charging for leagues? Especially if they lock out the competition editor to do it.

You can legitimately make the argument that there have never been African leagues, aside from South Africa, in the game and therefore this is genuinely additional content. On top of that, because you still have the editor, you satisfy the crowd of people who are against DLC on principle. They have no argument, they do not have to buy the product and they are technically not missing out on it because they can make it themselves if they like.

However, someone such as myself would at the very least be interested, because an official league expansion offers what the free downloads don't: a mark of quality, a guarantee that I'm going to get the best.

If SI are going down the route of having DLC and are prepared to defend paid for cheats as a sensible avenue, then they should have no problem justifying never before seen leagues.
