We appreciate that the vast majority of people reading this post on the forums are genuine consumers of the game, and that having to activate is not as simple as putting the game in the drive and playing. With those two simple steps done there are no more hoops to jump through or steps to take. This is a one-time only activation which requires you to sign up for a Steam account (which is free) and to install the Steam client and once it has been done the game can be played offline by turning on Steam's Offline mode. Any version of Football Manager 2012 bought on disc will have to be activated through the Steam network, so therefore purchasers will have to have an internet connection for initial activation. This year we have found what we believe is an acceptable solution. We did make our position on anti-piracy pretty clear though, we see it as a big problem for our game and we said we'd continue to look for a solution that stopped, or made it very difficult to pirate the game and play it for free.
Read Sega's statement on Football Manager 2012's Steam requirement in full:Įach year we give you an update on the status of copy protection and activation of Football Manager and the decisions taken as we know it's a hot topic for many of you, although for many others it's not really an issue at all.Īs you may remember, last year we decided against any activation as we couldn't find a solution that we thought struck a balance on combatting piracy and not penalising the genuine consumer.
