Chalky1989 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The people who use it, may have noticed that you now HAVE to make a 'donation' to be able to use the full features. I don't really have a problem with that, a couple of quid is nothing if I do decide I want to use it. However, aren't there legal issues with this as the guy has created an editor to SI's game, he's essentially now making money from SI's game as without FM, FMRTE would be useless. Wasn't this a similar thing to how the Tactic Theorems thing kicked off? Just curious? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Unless he is using code that belongs to SI then i cannot see why he is in the wrong. If he has created the programme completely on his own then he in entitled to ask for a donation for it imo. SI never endorsed FMRTE anyway, so i cannot see them being bothered about less people being prepared to use it. It doesnt take money from them, infact some people only still play FM because they have FMRTE, SI themselves do not release a real time editor so it doesnt conflict with their editor.

I've no problem with donating to him to get it. Even though now it's a payment rather than a donation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farhanc007 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 FM scout uses advertising so why don’t FMRTE do the same thing. As the software has always had donations on a voluntary basis, now it appears they are alienating their use base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamatis Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Back in the day when Eugene (GS author) tried to make Genie Scout 'donationware' SI had a problem with that and he had to stop, even though he also made a free version with limited functionality available. So it's likely to see Raul Bravo (FMRTE author) having a problem with SI soon. Eugene is now releasing GS as free software, with option for people to contribute to get the ads-free version (which has a couple of minor extra features). To contribute it means either donate or translate the program in a new language. This way, everyone's happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This all started with that rip-off hints guide (FM Britain?). Now greed has overtaken the author of FMRTE. I shall be making my feelings known at this disgusting turn of events. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 now it appears they are alienating their use base. Hopefully that will mean less people on the forums bragging about things they've 'achieved' while secretly using it. Fwiw, I have no problem with people using it, it's their game at the end of the day, but the amount that go bragging about their ******** success...

The way he does it is the best though, either way he makes money, and we don't have to pay for it if we don't want to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be making my feelings known at this disgusting turn of events. I hope this is sarcasm or I think some perspective is required here. We are talking about paying 80-odd pence for a tool which many people find useful for a number of different reasons... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

starburst91 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have a question. I downloaded it because I signed a player at the last minute of the transfer window and accidentally forgot to register him for the league, but when I click uefa registration he's still not registered, does anyone know if theres a way to do it?
