Only found out about this tonight when my inbox contained many generous offers from various sites all of a sudden! It seems that the US players are gone for the time being until a, ahem, "settlement" can be reached.
I"d be interested to know what people think about the following - when the US players return in - say - two years, for return they willl (money"s a wonderful thing), will the standard have dropped significantly, given that they"ll have had no access to online play? Or will it be better, given that the pros will be back, but the casual players will have dropped out..?
Any opinions?
