Thoughts on Football Manager Brand

Huge fan of the Football/Championship Manager franchise. But starting to have my doubts.

40 GBP on Steam is a bit expensive, regardless of lacking official logos. You can get it for 30 here, so the first thing to remember is that there are always much cheaper options to Steam store which are perfectly legit and you have a choice to support a fansite at the same time (and not just Valve).

If licensing of graphics is your only issue, that's not too bad. People usually complain about the match engine, which won't be updated any further for FM20.

Now the licensing restrictions is a matter of not willing to pay for those licenses. Not willing can also mean not being able to afford, which of course is understandable. I can only assume that for example a Premier League license would cost a LOT, otherwise a higher profile game such as PES would have it too.

The situation with packs containing copyrighted material has changed significantly this season. It's a serious matter with legal consequences. If you haven't read my public statement on the matter, I recommend checking it now.
