![]() ![]() I feel this is a worrying prescient and hope SI don’t go after other mods, my gut feeling is they will. Personally, I can see their first point (though I don’t agree with forcing adverts on people who have paid for a full version of the game in order to make extra revenue) however, their second reason is bizarre as through the editor we can make unlicenced nations playable, surely that has a bigger impact? Sadly, I feel this is a sign of things to come, SI's reasoning was the patch impacts on their ability to make revenue (in game advertising) and on their ability to obtain licences. SI can only stop sites hosting, they can’t stop people creating content which is better than SI can please carry on and find a way to distribute to your many disciples You both got a point there! But some modders are already asking money for some stuff and maybe thats why SI is jumping in now.ītw no post on SI forums? Nothing on Reddit? People are just going to accept this?īy Tommy Hughes 07 December 2021 - 23:50 PM UTCĪgree mate, the start of a slippery slope. This is a sad day, and I hate painting all walls in black, but I really don't see any sort of positive outcome for us. The reality is, most players do not use mods, and SI might go down the road of using DLC, but it will never be anywhere near the levels of details as the mod community have given us. They do not give a flying **** about a few nerds getting upset. Money talks, and players like us might just walk away, as this game without mods, is not worth it anymore. This is only the begning, the end is very clear. Unfortunately, I absolutely do think this will extend to kits, skins, logo, real names … basically all mods in the near future. It will feel like losing a connection to my youth and the very core of my seemingly endless love for football.īy Rellom Q 08 December 2021 - 03:57 AM UTC If I end up getting off the train in the near future, I will be very sad about it. I've bought Football Manager (or Championship Manager) since the 99-00 iteration, with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 games. ![]() The ability to customise - and thus make FM more realistc - has been the crucial factor behind my buying each FM game for years and years now. (And whether it'll appeal to me anymore or not.) That will effect my future decisions on whether to support and buy FM or not. It'll be interested which way SI are heading. However, individual companies can choose their way. ![]() What's next? No custom 3D kits? Will those be sold as DLC? One thing the game industry has proven time and time again is that its greed has no boundaries. They wanted to monetize the match engine one step further this year. They've agreed to have adverts to be forced on us and data collected about our decision to click or not click the links on those adboards that lead to the corresponding web sites of said advertisers. They've chosen the greedy route and placed our virtual football simulation experience for sale. SI has sold advert space in your game and mine. To those who defend SI and say they have no choice, it's the advertisers who require the specific visibility: wake up. To ensure that visibility to their adverts, SI have decided to take down custom adboards and force their set adboards in their place. ![]() They've agreed to have a set degree of visibility guaranteed for the advertisers. SI have agreed new commercial deals with advertisers. But I think I already would have a long time ago, were there no such dedicated people contributing, creating and setting their brilliance loose on the skeletal frame of the game to add the meat that makes it more authentic and life-like. They really bring to life the game I WANT to love, WANT to play and WANT to never get tired of. The true spirit of my beloved real-life football emerges the same time as I get to install the versatile custom-made modifications and additions. At least until now.Įach time I launch the early beta without the crucial additions, I realize how empty and unrealistic the vanilla game feels. The fruits of your hard work (and many other community creators like you) have given FM that added sprinkle of realism and real-life football magic that keeps me playing it year after year. ![]()
