I get a small kickback for anyone who buys the game with the link (the code doesn't count for that, that literally gets you the discount but i get no credit for that lol). Anyone who does buy it with that link is helping with the "Kev's new laptop" fund, so is massively appreciated lol. 11 minutes ago, Gersdude123 said: Where did use find the best Deals for FM24 still to pre order it this is a good deal i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football Manager content is very popular on Youtube. I understand you are frustrated but to take it out on people who get the game a day before you is so silly. I can't find a way to prove this to you but I know that sales of Football Manager have gone up year by year and that is to a degree because of content creators on Youtube and Twitch.

I have a mate who spends more time watching them than playing. I’ve never seen the attraction personally, if I have time to watch I have time to play. It’s not like it’s the only medium SI use either. It’s just one of the strings in their bow I guess. Like I said earlier, I don’t think the YouTube videos are forcing a delay to the Beta, I think the embargo lifting implies and imminent Beta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
