Matt ex SEGA Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok, sorry for showing my frustration, we're obviously not allowed to even do that. We'll just shut up and wait our turn. I just explained that we'll look for other suppliers if you know of them. I asked an honest question - if there's something more you'd like us to do is there chance you could constructively tell us? For the other chaps - thanks, I'll see if we can work with them on the Mac SKU also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusq Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It is rather frustrating the digital version is more expensive: Id pre-order and download if the price was matched and in theory that should mean *extra* profits along the line due to delivery/packaging savings. Hey ho, Ill pop along to tesco straight after work instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Salami Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 any news on a esellerate price for mac users yet? I would like the digital copy this year but if its much more expensive I think I'll pre-order the retail copy. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farlz_23 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Sorry if this has been answered already and this isn't really a big deal at all but on my steam account it says that I can get the game when it is available on the 31st? Yet everywhere else I look it is released on the 30th and it also says 30th when I click on the steam link in this thread. So am I going to have to wait an extra day to get it? Would seem strange if so. Cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Salami Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Matt, Can you help? When are esellerate going to release a price for FM2010 for mac? What power/influence fo SI/Sega have reagrdgin esellerate (I may be wrong but I understand it is yourself who set the price and then pay a % to esellerate per sale?)

Matt ex SEGA Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hello, I'm looking into Mac pricing and distribution options today. What I know is that Esellerate will go live with the game on launch day so that is guaranteed. Nothing else to report at present, I'll post back here when I have more info.

leon103 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I usually buy the game from a shop but this year I was thinking of downloading it from Steam or somewhere similar. I have never done this before so got a couple of questions. If I download from Steam etc can i think copy the game onto a dvd to put it on my laptop or my second machine? Do I need to keep the PC connected to the internet to be able to play FM? How big will the download be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amahk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Any news on if FM2010 for Mac will be available on something other than esellerate for digital download? I've been on the esellerate site and I can't even seem to access their store to see what games they sell. Not sure how much I trust that right now. As someone said D2D and GamersGate both have Mac digital downloads for other games. I just want to be able to preload the game and play asap. I'm almost done the demo and I NEED to take Arsenal to victory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 We dont know anything about Mac version--at all.

I'm not quite sure about this year's download size, but from my last year's experience I was able bo make a copy of my game to DVD - but you can still download it any time you want - you'll need internet connection to activate the game (last year it was possible to run it without Steam, I'm not sure about this year, but you can run Steam offline), and then you can play without internet.

felix1322 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 i cannot play the game on release day because no shop accept psc and just accept credit card and paypal. when i order a copy i have to send a picture of my id card. but i dont have a mobile phone and no scanner. why is it so difficult to accept easy payment. i can buy it on ebay thats annoying. some mmogs like aion or eve accept psc. what happens if you release the game in countrys where its forbidden? you are english producer, so they dont can bring an action for you. you can do it for the fans. they just come with an law****er and you dont release the game anymore. yo ucould more fight i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why use paypal? Because you wouldnt be asking how to pay for the game, you would have it pre ordered already and you would be getting it on release. 2. Paypal does not take a cut of money from the buyer, if a game costs 35 quid all you pay is 35 quid, only the seller is charged a small fee for using the service or if you are gifting money. i recently gifted my friend £20 (for pre ordering the left4dead2 4 pack, and it cost £20 plus 79p). 3. "Hackers" despite TV's best attempts are not master slouthes who prey on anybody with a paypal account, its completely safe to use so long as you only buy from respected sites. And Paypal does indeed protect you on purchases if you have documented evidence of the transaction. So all in all, if you cant pre order the game then its down to you simply being too demanding and wanting a rediculously tedious payment scheme (that i have never heard of before in my life) to be common place... when theres already completely free and safe alternatives in place.

Canuck Gooner Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Matt, I'm also looking forward to the Mac pricing info and know you'll post it when you have it. Hopefully it's the same price as Steam as I'd like to not have to carry the DVD around with me all the time. D2D does sell Mac games so it may be an outlet you want to explore. I might suggest however, that you look to set up hard copy purchase option for Canada. Amazon.com will not ship this game to Canada when you try to buy it from there and it is not listed on Amazon.ca. There's a large base of consumers you are potentially missing out on. For FM09 I lucked in that a mate was working in NYC and I had it shipped to him and he brought it home when he returned but it won't be that simple this year.

Twellman24 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What do you want the hard copy for if you're going to buy the digital one? Just wondering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hey, We've looked into Canadian distribution before - it's really, really difficult to get a partner who'll take the game and give it decent shelf space. We do really well with Amazon in the states now and haven't had any luck otherwise. Sorry, it's either Digital or Import for you guys... We're looking into other partners for Mac distribution but won't have anything other than esellerate up for launch day. In terms of pricing - I believe last year via esellerate it was £29.99 and I expect it to be the same again. Cheers Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
