scherli Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I was really happy when the iPad version was finally out as I travel a lot and FM would be the perfect waste of time while sitting on the airport, in the train etc... I was really happy until I found out that I'm not alllowed to buy FM2013 with my German iTunes account which turned me from being really happy into being really really upset!!! Does anyone have a clue why I can't buy it? Is there any chance to get it at all? What can I do? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks from a disappointed manager Scherli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted December 20, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi - unfortunately we can't sell any of our products in Germany for legal reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scherli Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 So no chance to buy it at all? I mean, I can buy the PC version at the German Amazon Shop too. So what's the problem with the handheld version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the problem with the handheld version? I'm guessing on Amazon the PC game is sold via third-party private importers though I have no idea to be honest how this works or what the ramifications of it are. All I know is that we can't distribute any of our products in Germany - you could try asking SEGA for more info but I don't know how much they'll be able to add to what I've said.

scherli Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hm, very disappointing but thanks anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scherli Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Just a formal post: All that SEGA did was telling me that FM13 Handheld simply wasn't published in Germany. I never could have imagined that in 2012 it is still possible that people who are willing to buy a product are simply locked out from buying it. Thank you, now I know I've been wrong.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted December 25, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted December 25, 2012 Unfortunately this is down to legal reasons within Germany I believe - not something which we have any control over as developers, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scherli Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 The strange thing is that I can buy the PC version as UK import via Amazon but not the handheld version via iTunes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked on Amazon and the sellers to Germany are all unofficial private import companies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
