Well, it's not a "stupid" design decision... it's just a design decision that doesn't work perfectly. It makes sense. Your budget is based on your normal revenue, it's what you can afford to spend, anything more creates a very real possibility of going negative for the season.

I agree that it has some quirks that don't make sense, and it has a major flaw when owner doesn't control budget. It was a huge bug though that you could spend that cash many many times over, and it ended up being that the first solution wound up being the final solution.

I don't care either way, if it gets reverted in a patch that's fine, if it doesn't I don't mind either. There are work arounds that would put a little more work on the commish, but not something they would constantly have to monitor and fiddle with... just an hour or so of changing some numbers and it would be ready to go.

Either way though, I'm not defending it (because they should be 2 different functions, owner controls or not, not the same function that just tweaks the numbers) I'm just reporting why the change was made.
