FM first came out in 2005 (and most of us were playing CM before that). Are you seriously suggesting these players haven't changed their PC/Laptop from then? After all if they needed to surely they'd just give up and stop playing according to you...
If they need to make an upgrade for the first time in the FM series history, 99% will. Maybe not instantly if money is a problem, but they will eventually. The same way everyone finds money for a new phone, TV, fridge etc. Sometimes hardware needs updated, that's life.
