milnerpoint Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 They wont release the game without steam in any fashion, the demo is just the full game with restricted code that gets unlocked when the full game is released. You will need steam at all times for FM12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Fm12 demo is not displaying on Steam yet, I just did a search for it. Your would think it would be available on multiple download locations. The demo isn't out, so it won't be on there yet. The reason why I think the Demo is only on Steam is because if SI/SEGA decided to have it on different downloads, you'd get loads of people asking why can't the full game be like that. If they have it on Steam from the start, then no one can complain, hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyzer Soze Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm not surprise if the demo would be steam exclusive. If the full game needs steam to run, it's easier to SI/SEGA to release the demo only from that plataform. And i think this is a good ideia. Perhaps when some people try the demo trough steam, they will be convinced that steam will not overload their PC's, will not have FBI or CIA knocking on their doors, will not have some strange alien ships landing on their roofs, etc etc As for the release date, i'm thinking friday at 12:00. Instead of the daily blog, we will get the demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to experience the demo first before I buy the game, if this is only available for download on steam, so be it. Some people, have said that they aren't willing to use Steam for whatever reasons. So whilst you can buy the game in boxed form, it still has to be registered/unlocked(right word) on Steam. So in response to Wiitastic saying that he doesn't know why they can't have it(demo) from download from other places. If that's what he meant, so what I meant is and this is from reading the last few posts of this thread is, that the demo will only be available on Steam. If it was available to download or to get from somewhere else, then some people may ask why the full game can't be used without Steam. If I've misread everything and got it wrong, then sorry.

Wiitastic Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 i'd be very supprised if its only available on Steam, would limit the people to download it and play it. by having it on multiple locations, it would maximise the potential of future sales of the full game.

I'm not in the know and don't want to start any hassle, but I think it may only be available on Steam. The reason being is it would be a lot easier for SI/SEGA and may actually persuade some of the doubters of Steam, then again it may not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it would be sensible to make it available from different sources, to try and lure in those who are undecided about buying the game because of DRM.

seagull84 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 oops - just made a thread on this before i found this one. What about those of who are region locked out of getting anything to do with FM through STEAM (although we can still buy a game and activate it) - A STEAM only release would prevent a lot of people from even being able to access demo (germany and korea for example) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I would be completely shocked if it was avaliable without the need for steam, it would be a very big waste of time to insist on steam for the game yet release the game without the need for steam.
