I hope you guys realize all this isn't normal and we have been taken for an unfair ride, taken advantage of as a matter of fact.

Not a way to treat your devoted fans.

Because this to them is a business and they want to maximise their profits. They don't care about us, they just want to make a profit. Plain and simple! How businesses work.

Business doesn't work if you screw over your customers and they go somewhere else. They are lucky that somewhere else is either a step backward in management games or other shady companies like EA.

Don't have much of a business if you piss off your customer base. They want to maximize profits but at the expense of future purchases thus leading to huge loses in the long run. Businesses focusing on short term profits end up going broke because customers remember and competition is paying attention.

To anyone reading this, ignore most comments in this thread who clearly dont understand what licensing is. The devs managed to renew licenses for most clubs, but some individual clubs were unavailiable. Hence they are legally obligated to remove those clubs logos and names etc from the game. Blame the clubs, or how licensing works, or jupiter being in retrograde or whatever but this isnt really on the devs this time.

Dude its fm 24 we are in 24 and the licensing is gone, there is nothing to ignore thats a fact and if i buy premium for having the licenses in the package and now some are gone its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ business model.

Yes i can get userfiles, but then directly dont buy the licenses and sell the game cheaper. The issue isnt that it happened the issue is how its explained or the lack of.

[Dipperly]

wtf? It is crazy how companies just dont give af anymore about their customers, lol.

Update removing things but eating more disc space. Modern logic ;-)))

SI have become too large.

Can you believe they have 300 people working on FM given the output?

They basically just sell a reskinned database update every year and change training/set pieces.

Smaller game studios put out AA(A) games with less than 30 people.

They should do like Elon with twitter and fire 2/3 of the staff so that the talented, remaining part can actually work on the product.

Calling for people to lose their jobs, because Elon Musk did it, it's crazy. Humanity lost their mind. Feeling sorry if you have that thoughts.

People lose their jobs for doing a bad job all the time. You don't think SI collectively will completely lose their publisher at this point?

Am I understanding what happened correctly?

If they hadn't screwed up FM25 so badly that they can't release it, then FM25 would replace FM24 as normal, they would stop selling FM24, and all of the licenses that were originally available in FM24 would still be available?

But since they screwed up FM25, they're continuing to sell FM24 past its normal replacement point, and they don't have some of the licenses going forward, so they removed them from the game?

Is that basically correct?

Well, crap. They should have just changed the graphics and repackaged 24 as "FM25_Temporary", or something like that.
