We'll have to see what features/fixes they add to justify the £60 I suppose.

It's the subscription that feels unfair to me. With netflix, if you know there isn't anything you want to watch you can cancel the payment and resubscribe when you want to again. FM is different, it's not like the game has a end, so when would be the point you would unsubscribe? Suppose I could cancel the auto renewal each month, but then if you want to hop on for 10 mins here and there it's gonna cost you £5 out your pocket again. I was around when they moved the game over to the Steam client, and there was backlash on here then with people saying that access to there game would be locked behind a Steam account, but at least it's free. This feels like it's a paywall to access your save.

Haven't used this account in years, long time player of FM moved to iPad from PC years ago as life went on and didn't have the time for the full game anymore. When I read the news that FMT22 wasn't coming to iPad, understood the reasoning that SI had too much on their plate so was happy to keep playing FM21. So I gotta say that hearing FMT23 is coming back, but with a subscription that I'll have to pay monthly forever to access my save and the world/players I've built is a kick in the teeth lads. You wouldn't lock your PC players saves behind a paywall so why do it to us? I get that the exclusivity deal you've signed as probably helped finance bringing it back to iPad in first place, but asking your customer for £60 per year (for forever if you wanna keep going with your save), is just wrong. I really hope there is some way to buy and "own" (at least without the subscription) in the future. I don't mean for any of this to point the pitch forks at you guys, but times are hard right now lads and there not getting any better and now I'm gonna have to set up a direct debit for FM like I do for my gas and electric - I thought SI we're better than this.
