I'm expecting FM 25 to be full of bugs. The lack of an announcement that Touch is returning to Steam was very disappointing. I'm in my 40s, I have a full time job, and a husband. I've been playing since CM 95/96 and I want to keep playing new versions of FM but the full fat game is like a part time job... The women's football bit... meh. Having a lady avatar that looks less terrifying would be nice :-)

Given the big announcement today will FM Touch be available once again outside of apple arcade?

Probably not. I've been buying FM/CM since 95 but the full fat game is too much hassle and FMT has been dropped/neglected.

I'm intrigued to see what they announce in the coming weeks... I hope they do something for the players who have jobs and families and can't play more than 7 hours a week.

The title says it all. I have a job and I'm married. I can't invest more than 12 hours in a season. Full fat FM is too much. FM touch was great, it was easy to access and use, and gave me (and still does!) some gentle escapism. It still had a really great database of players too. I've been buying FM since 95/96, and FM 2023 may be the end of an era for me :-(

I really hope FM touch returns. I've been sticking to FM touch 2021, it's still a great game but I'm sad I won't get an update. Full fat FM takes too long and feels like a part time job :-(
