Major questions that I'm sure many people will have so I wanted to jumpstart it with these two:

Marin,

Do you have a flash player replacement in mind yet for when flash player no longer works?

How far away are we from a BuzzerBeater App? Is there potential of seeing one in 2020, or is 2021 more realistic?

Thanks!

1.Have you considered adding people to your team to help you manage the game?
With some side questions:

With all the respect, obviously BB management is almost non-existent. It seems like Marin main job is simply to keep the game functioning ("Alive") . We haven't had an upgrade or change to the game engine and tactics for years. This is absurd in my opinion..
A few quite simple changes that I would really like to see in the game :
a. Change the salary formula so it will be cost-efficient to build players for other tactics than Look inside as well; One of the reasons people don't play outside tactics is because having a player with high outside shooting is way more expensive than having him inside-focused.
b. Make other tactics stronger - as we all know, the game is dominated by Look inside and it is frustrating. the only reason not to play LI is the GDP - and this is not a good reason by itself in my opinion..

Would love to hear Marin opinion about these.

2.Open sourcing BB?
I know this is a long shot,but..
Have you considered open-sourcing BB? Regarding to my previous question, I am aware that adding more staff will cost money that I am not sure BB necessarily have.
However, there are money talented people in the community that also care a lot about the game, and I am sure that people will help upgrade and improve BB if given the chance - free of charge of course.
We can have a system for that and a person in charge of all of that. Developments will be brought to Marin in an organized way and he can choose whether or not to add it to the game - so he will still be in charge after all.

Edits: A few spelling errors...

Or at least a website for mobile devices ... I am pretty sure, this is far more feasible than a mobile app.

Actually a great training facility
Feels like a TOP secret, but it's worth a shot:

Do players actually have "hidden" skills (like aggressiveness), if so could you elaborate about them? If not - any chance to see this in the future?
