Mike7077 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It emerged he'd been revealing details from a leak about the next CM.

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted December 5, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted December 5, 2008 Err - I'm here at the studio, working on getting the second patch out of the door having completed the PR tours for 09, whilst also getting together the plans for FM2010, FML's full launch and everything else that needs to be done. As for the snide/naysayer comments, with the exception of the authentication problems which were bad for all concerned, and have been apologised for many times (and again on the new podcast which will go live tonight), the launch has been a big success, with over 400,000 people globally currently authenticated and playing the game, including me, currently enjoying a hard game (with Watford) and a much easier game (with Man City). We're well aware of some people's issues with the game, and those that we agree with are being looked into for the patch. Those that we disagree with, and like the way they are, will stay the way they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to see what count as a failure. Anyway I look forward to playng the game in January and I have no problem parting with my money once everything is ok.

Suttface Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I knew he was in his office playing FM! Live that dream Miles, live that dream. Great news about the patch, also echo VonBlade- would be good to have a list of the changes that will not be made so that people don't keep posting them as bugs. It can be frustrating to read endless threads about issues that aren't actually issues, if you get my drift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted December 5, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted December 5, 2008 VonBlade/Suttface - we're making strides in being able to be more active in the bugs forums for things we are and aren't looking at (rather than just logging things or giving workarounds), but the strides won't be enough to be able to do it before this patch. It's a good idea though and well made, so thank you. The strides will be clear in the New Year when I've found the right person to put the plans into action...

Less people to share the profits with, and was top of the pc charts for most of the year. Didn't the last one sell a million? £25 million, once you've taken the costs out everyone gets big slice of pie. Anyway they deserve it they have made some good games, I said it in jest.

As with most PC titles the spread is over the whole year sales wise, FM09 will now likely sit a top the pc charts for the best part of the next year , iirc they have sold more in the first month this year than they did last year, soo 400k sales is good for them regardless of the current economic climate.

Glenn Wakeford Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 There have been some reports suggesting that games purchases are actually up despite the economic downturn. It seems more people are staying in and looking for value for money: makes sense, you can buy hundreds of FM09 hours of gaming for the same price as a couple of DVDs.
