kiwityke1983 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Google tells me FM16 beta was available October 28th. Game released November 13th So 16 days early? Fm2015 was October 23rd (15 days early) Fm2014 was October 16th (14 days early) FM2013 was October 20th (13 days early) FM2012 had no beta and released the 20th October.

From a marketing point of view, it's genius. You're giving something additional by providing a game around 2 weeks early, build up huge hype for a week before with when's the beta coming out making the game trend across social platforms.

This has been the case for FM for as long as I can remember, you can download the demo on steam and play for 6 months in-game, full game and everything, and if you buy it, you can continue the save!
