Paul Dejyothin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Pfft. Give her your card and pin code and tell her to go have fun without you!

Paul Dejyothin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I hope she bleeds you dry. It's no less than you deserve! And no going to the pub and forgetting the time. We need you back for our 12am kick off I'll not be visiting the pub today (still hungover from the Golden Joystick Awards from yesterday), I'm sure we all don't want me selecting the 'delete' rather than the 'go, go, go' button Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted November 1, 2008 Author SI Staff Share Posted November 1, 2008 Idea for next year, or today if possible.I know with a lot of direct to drive schemes like steam, it's possible to pre-download the bulk of the game, with a few small key files held back until release. If the demo's good to go right now, why not let us download 99% of it from steam now? Leave us a little to grab at midnight, and it'll be smoother... Second idea: Email me asking my phone number. Call me up and arrange to meet me at the Angel later today. Hand my a copy of FM09 in a brown paper bag as an early birthday present. I may be able to arrange sex with my other half as payment, but I've not raised the issue with her yet. With your first point, we are doing that for the digital download version of the game from Steam - you'll be able to pre-download a couple of days in advance of release. Not for the demo though - that has to go live at the same time across all different versions. As for the second point, I don't think my girlfriend would like that very much, so I'll pass.

JohnFKenny Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 This is nothing to do with the demo (sorry), but it's the best thread to get hold of you, so, Miles - it might be a good idea if you, at some point soon, made an "Ideas for FM 2010" sticky, because someone (Ter, I think) said that it's about now that you'll be discussing what to include, and it'd be useful to have most ideas in one place so it's easier for SI to explain what's wrong with them. If, on the other hand, my point is stupid, then feel free to ignore. I'm new(-ish) and unwise (extremely). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim1984 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Why is the Dutch league not included? It isn't the great league it once was, but still a better and more famous league than the Scandinavian leagues. Do you sell a lot of copies over there? I can't think of any other reason. The German league isn't included either. On the other hand, I understand you have to make choices and it is only a demo. The three biggest leagues are in and we can all try the game with nice teams.

wsopchamp08 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Can someone please give me a foolproof run-down of what needs doing if STEAM is the chosen route Is there a fee to join STEAM?

feedthegoat Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Is the demo going to be bang or 1gb or just under/over 1gb? The reason I ask is that I'll need to download the demo on to this computer and then transfer using a 1gb USB stick to my gaming computer. If it's just over 1gb, I think I'm going to have a little problem , unless of course I burn to DVD, just that it's easier with a USB stick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thempesth Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 about the discussions from here: 1.can someone that really knows this tell us if there will be a better database in the demo version, except the small?:)i would like some players to buy, and with the small one i can not.... 2.if someone takes the full game from steam, will there be a chance that it will be available a few hours earlier(lets just say 1 max) than the official release?i paid 66$(american)for the game from steam and if i gave this money i would like to have it at least half an hour earlier:) its a lot of money spent on the game in my case(these 66 dollars), even though i have quite a good salary, cause i have VERY big debts, that were unpaid to get the game....so i would like an answer at the two points that are still unknown for me...
