Iggy Hassan Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 It says it does. But it's not on the official list of retailers which is confusing. We could do with that clearing up before we commit to buy. I got stung last year buying from shopto. They were undercutting everyone so were penalised by SI so they didn't have early access. I had to cancel my order and went with Fanatical instead. Shopto have returned to the official list this year, but no mention of CDkeys so I'm a bit wary to order...

kevhamster Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) If you want someone on the official Sega list, I have an affiliate link and discount code for Fanatical which I would get a small commission on, so please remove this if it's not allowed mods. For clarity, look up any of the main FM content creators such on Twitter, and they have exactly the same. https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/football-manager-2024?ref=expcarrot Discount code is CARROT £35.05 with the above code.

Freakiie Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Shopto.net is €35,14 which I'm pretty sure is by far the cheapest among the officially licensed retailers if you're paying in € and just a couple cents more expensive than CDKeys. One day I'll understand why their price in € is so low, it's pretty much the same price as when you pay in £, which makes no sense. Edit: Actually never mind, seems just like last year Shopto is selling physical copies again (why do these even exist any more when they're literally just a code in a box?!), which means you pay a massive shipping fee. WHY?! Edited September 22, 2023 by Freakiie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year shopto didn't include beta access as they only had code in box versions which weren't shipped until the full retail release. Not sure if that's the case this year or not.

Alejandro_FM Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 CDKeys is not on their "approved digital retailer" list -- which I think is this one https://www.sega.com/sega-approved-partner-list (correct me if I am wrong) ... so does not that mean you won't have beta access? Cheapest I've seen on that list (for a US Activation, in USD) is with DLgamer for 23% off. Has anyone found a better deal? I know Fanatical has 22% off with affiliate links, so that's comparable.
