Dale Gribble Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 On a serious note, will the demo run on a Mac? Obviously I know the full games do, but I imagined the demo's as just being .exe downloads which obviously don't open on a Mac, unless you were doing two versions.

arsenal_2111 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Dale, I'd imagine they'll do a Zip format for MAC - it'd be stupid to leave out such a big audience. Ackter, he's Neil Brock now instead of nbrocky which may be why you haven't noticed him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reflection22 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 He said the middle of October, that's not a week, more like 3 weeks. I predict October 17th personally ;-) So in a week or so we all should have the demo Looking forward to using the new GUI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Cynical Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The really annoying thing is that when FM2010 is released there will be tonnes of threads asking 'When is the patch comming out' which is imo equally annoying. If people are asking for a patch as soon as a game comes out, your anger should not be directed at the people asking for a patch but at the people who released a game in an unfinished state. Back on topic, this is fantastic news. Steam is just about the only tolerable DRM system there is, and I'd like to point out (for the benefit of one of the earlier posters) that its stats collection (unlike FM's last year) is completely optional. In fact it is even more optional than FM2010's: Steam's is not 'opt out', it is 'opt in'. Any time Steam has a hardware survey going, it pops up and ASKS YOU whether you want to send your hardware stats to Valve or not. Put simply, I can now put FM back on my 'might buy' list!

Jorge Campos Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I propose a yellow card to Matt for winding up the forums with misleading thread titles and then stating the obvious.

butlins Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I can understand people wanting to play the demo just to see the new features e.t.c, but for me it spoils the first time you play the proper game for me, every knows that fm is the best management game, so wouldn't it be better just to wait for the release!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as with most demos you just start getting into the game then bang 6 months is up and you have to wait anyway!!!!!!!

It will be as bug free as they can get it by that time, however a testing pool of a million players will always find bugs that a small testing pool of 20 testers in house will miss. Every piece of commercial software is released with bugs. There's no such thing as a flawless game, program, operating system or woman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've thought the OMG and four exclamation marks made it obvious that it was a wind-up, but I guess that's just me.

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted September 27, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm shocked, Matt, by your blantant pirating of my Twitter post from earlier in the week and taking all the credit for yourself. Although an interesting twist there, particularly as all the fairies had already been killed by those asking about the demo on Twitter. Poor fairies. The worst thing about all of this is that the more testers who die because of this, the longer the game and the demo will take to come out.....
