Soccer spreadsheet sim Football Manager 2021 will launch on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One this holiday, but both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 will be left on the bench. Asked why Sony’s systems have been excluded, Sports Interactive boss Miles Jacobson explained that it’s because the Japanese giant failed to provide the studio with devkits – despite requests.
David Writes: "Newcastle United Taking on Europe – A Football Manager 24 Story. Join us as we look to continue on from where Eddie Howe left off and challenge Europe's elite. But can we hold our own, while managing a small squad and a tough domestic fixture list?
I want to get straight into the meat of this series, but I'll go over some “ground rules” in Part 1 and then we'll leave it at that. After, we'll jump straight into the story and get to work at making Newcastle United one of the best teams in the world."
Among the many, many claims and discoveries flying around in the wake of Microsoft's ongoing FTC lawsuit over the attempted purchase of Activision Blizzard, one particular quote stands out: PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's accusation that Xbox Game Pass and other subscription-based services are "value destructive" to video games.
Do we need articles from every person in the industry when they offer an opinion on this FTC trial? Its all show and false opinions to help their cases. Jim Ryan doesn't believe this of Gamepass anymore than Satya wants to end Exclusives.
I really dont understand why this is so hard to understand from all parties lol
Game pass being good for a game really depends on the type of game, gamepass is fantastic for indie games and lower budget AA games or games like football managers that dont cost a bomb to make, but there's no way you can recuperate a big AAA single player games budget back by releasing it on gp unless ms basically pays for 90% of the cost the game took to make.ms can do it for there titles cause they can take the hit with the end goal being more subscribers but 3rd party big releases can't do that.
Look at final fantasy 16 sold 3 mill in less than a week and will only sell more.
CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT and not all games are created equally, so yes for this devs game, gamepass would be great, change the game to ff16 and there is no way its profitable for square enix unless ms pay them majotiy of the budget which obvs they wont do so yea, i dont think its rocket Science
Ryan said publishers, he did not say developers. The only reason a publisher would want a gamepass release for a Billed AAA game is if they dont trust the quality.
If GP was so fab why isn't the service littered with current AAA games when they are released.
Here is a developer that has concers with gamepass that is not as bias as the Sega employee for which their company just recently advertised several games at a Microsoft conference with some of the games coming to gamepass.

The studio head behind Football Manager disagreed with PlayStation president Jim Ryan about the subscription service.
"For us, it's nothing but positive on all three platforms. Jacobson added that as a Sega-owned studio, they "run quite a tight ship." So Sports Interactive doesn't "tend to do deals that are bad for any parts of the business."
-Why would you believe the guy who works for Sony about one of his competitors services that offers day 1 games that his own service does not??? I mean as long as he's going to continue to ask ps plus subscribers and non-subscribers alike to fork over $70 for Sony's next game and so on, of course he's gonna hate Gamepass.
Sony's boss doesn't like the competitions services.
Here I though he would be ecstatic about it.

Not to be a grammar nazi but it's either "devs say" or "dev says"
Unless MS is forking over many millions it clearly kills game sales.
Gamepsss will be double in price when they feel they can do it guaranteed and it will continue to go up.
I’d rather vote for games with my wallet and support the games I like instead of supporting a pool of games which many I have zero interest in.
Everyone all of a sudden likes football sims....
