After twenty years (november 2023.) of being registered on this forum and buying all editions of Football Manager, if the information is indeed true that I must be a Netflix subscriber, this will mark the end of my gaming journey. Perhaps it's not a loss for the company, one player more or less. But such an approach will certainly drive away many long-time players. 60 Euros for a mobile game is too much. I'm not a fan of Netflix, nor do I want to follow it, let alone pay for it. That's why I'll conclude my gaming with the previous version. Competing games in the same category even distribute for free with the aim of gaining new players. The number of subscribers on the Google Play Store will increase because the game will be free there, but the number of players will certainly decrease in reality. I wish Miles Jacobson and the other creators luck in pursuing such misguided ideas, with the hope that one day they'll realize that money from Netflix will never replace the people who have been with them for years. This year, for principled reasons, I won't even buy the version made for the computer.
Sincerely,
