Magicz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I don't expect anyone to know but does anyone have any idea if FM 12 will be steam exclusive? Or will we have the option to play with the disc in the drive, as I have always done. I only ask because the last time I used steam it messed my laptop up, and I wondered if anyone knew the answer to my question. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I very much doubt it will be a Steam exclusive. I'm 99% certain you will have the option of playing with the disk in the drive although you may initially have to register the game somewhere. I also doubt Steam "messed" up your laptop.

red rob Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 there was the option inn fm09 were you didnt neeed the disc to play the game, only to install it, it dosent really bother me wether the disc is in or not when playing, for me thats the only disc what remains in the computer all throughout until the lastest installment of the game is released (so i dont lose the disc as i have done previosly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyosullivan Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I would doubt that Steam messed up your laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicz Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Maybe Steam didn't tbh, it just wouldn't play through Steam. Which was weird. I just prefer to have the disc in the drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGulls Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Its available to pre order at many retailers so cannot imagine that It would be Steam exclusive, also this would reduce their market share as many people still prefer the disk version; myself included.

FrazT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Noone can answer this question till the announcement of the full game release. It is very unlikely that Steam messed up your laptop, by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Heh, steam messing up my friends game is the only reason I have a copy. Once it started working again he gave me the disk. Steam's nice when it works, but it's temperamental sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 On the basis that Sega can't alienate any potential customers without an internet connection (or those on a stringent download limit), it's almost certain that you can buy a physical copy.

MrPompey Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Its very unlikely to be steam exclusive. In my opinion the best way as always is to buy the retail version and load game from the DVD, then autheniticate. It saves the long download from Steam. However its horses and course so if you like me prefer the retail game then I'm 99% sure FM will be sold in this format Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divide Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Football Manager.net is advertising pre orders at amazon, game and more...... so i'd say no to steam exclusivity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindqui43 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 If you are using steam, you can just go to "offine" mode, were you don't need steam online or the disk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
