Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2014 With the announcement of the release month and packshot for Football Manager 2015 today, we thought you should know about our brand new loyalty scheme, InSIder. Launched today, InSIder will bring you closer than ever to the heart of the studio behind FM. In addition to being the first to hear all the news from within Sports Interactive, InSIders will enjoy a number of benefits including exclusive offers, extra game and feature news, competitions, "Meet the Squad" interviews with members of the SI team, exclusive partner deals and lots more. Also, as a thank you for being a loyal member of the FM community and to kick things off, we are offering InSIders a unique 10% discount code* which can be used if you pre-order Football Manager 2015 from the SEGA Store. So what do you need to do to join? If you are signed up to the Football Manager mailing list you should receive an email about InSider shortly. If you don't receive this then you are not currently a member. If you want to join and get access to the benefits, head to www.footballmanager.com, where you’ll find all the details. Once you’ve signed up, your first InSIder offer (10% discount code) will be emailed to you separately within 48-hours. If you’ve signed up and don’t think you’ve received your code, please contact help@sega.co.uk with details. What's more, if you pre-order Football Manager 2015, you'll enjoy early access to a fully-playable Beta** version of the game, available roughly two weeks prior to the official release date. Careers started in this Beta version will continue in the full game, so it really is like getting your hands on the game two weeks early. This year, we’ll be releasing information on new features for Football Manager 2015 in early October, including some exclusives to InSIders first. *Discount offer only available until 11pm (BST) on Monday 1st September **Please note, the "Beta" is a work in progress version of the game. Whilst careers started in the Beta will work with the final version, some issues may occur. Note: not open to entry to people residing in Germany.

nickdc Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Erm, what is it that makes this a loyalty scheme? If I don't sign up, have my inbox spared the interviews with your sandwich man and temp receptionist yet pay full whack on official release, am I less of a customer?

Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 7, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2014 Erm, what is it that makes this a loyalty scheme? If I don't sign up, have my inbox spared the interviews with your sandwich man and temp receptionist yet pay full whack on official release, am I less of a customer? As we've said: InSIders will enjoy a number of benefits including exclusive offers, extra game and feature news, competitions, "Meet the Squad" interviews with members of the SI team, exclusive partner deals and lots more. If you choose not to get involved, that certainly doesn't make you 'less of a customer' as you've put it, but you won't have access to the same offers. It's as simple as that really.

nickdc Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love all the updates the closer we get to release date, but don't necessarily agree that a limitation on this for the none sign-ups is ideal. Presumably it allows you to target your customer base more directly and that's cool, I just don't like the carrot of exclusive interviews being dangled as way of showing me extra stuff up for purchase. I'm here, on your forums, talking about your game. You can count of my £25 come the release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadsheep2001 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Indeed and now others may also know of this 'consumer choice'. It's never been a hidden thing, there's a thread that pops up on here every year with all the places you can buy it from and how much they are doing discounts for, usually curated by Ackter. Some will still choose to buy from SEGA, Steam or whatever for their own reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You may well be surprised just how many people are unaware of better prices from other digital retailers, every year there are people posting to thank others (Ackter included) for showing them other cheaper alternatives. I have simply added that here also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Very disappointed with FM14.

LilSaint Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wouldn't it be an idea (if we're looking at loyalty) to have a feature that looks at previous FM games you've owned & reward you based on that? Sort of what Fifa does? Anyway, eagerly looking forward to FM15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pre-purchase Football Manager 2015 now to enjoy access to a fully-playable ‘Beta’ version of the game roughly two weeks prior to the official release date" From Getgames store ... "Pre-order Football Manager 2015 now to enjoy access to a fully-playable 'Beta' version of the game roughly two weeks prior to the official release date." Etc, etc..

Lower Leagues Rule Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Is this not supposed to be available in New Zealand? Because it appears the purchasing page is geo-blocked for me, is fine if I change my location to US/UK or even Germany, but it rejects NZ everytime.

unanonymous7 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It's $35.09 using the Sega discount code now, 10% discount from $38.99. Getgames, while giving 20% discount, is from RRP of $49.99 and therefore is still more expensive at $39.99. I'm in Indonesia though, so it might be different for those in other locations?

That's listed as a special verison for Phillipines, Indonesia, Singapore & Malaysia.
