I am a realist. I love ideal stuff that we all like to hold onto, but you get what you pay for. Unless you start paying guys $100 for these games you will get a $20 to $30 effort for a game that might not take more than an hour. And why I would not compare any of this to what we do. The better comparison would be to those that work Men's leagues and see their effort. I know officials at those leagues take those games as a money grab too.
