You are violating copyright on a daily basis on this site (it gets especially spicy when you charge people real money). If people wanted to shut this site down they would have done so a long time ago.

 

Let's take a step back and remind ourselves why Sports Interactive asked you to delete this mod. It's because they are selling monetized ads in Football Manager 2022, a game we already paid for. If you remove those ads, they lose impressions and therefore money. While Miles is a great guy, I'd like to point out that Sports Interactive Limited is owned by a giant corporation.

 

Just don't pretend like there's some greater picture that I'm not seeing, this issue isn't that complicated. A company wants money, 3rd party modification gets in the way of their bottom line, people who host said 3rd party mod get bullied. You see this thing happen all the time elsewhere but I didn't expect SI to stoop to this level.

 

P.S. Sorry for the slow reply, I was enjoying a few seasons with 1860 Munich with the real-life adboard patch which is still available on other sites. It was quite immersive!

 

P.PS. I stand by my statement that you are making the world worse if you support monetized ads in finished, single player products. Not sure why you bring up “current events”, obviously the world is f*** up and there are more important things than a Football Manager 2022 mod being removed from this site lmao. This forum is specifically about FM. Having said that, Slava Ukraini.

 

Yet again, I fail to see why you seem to believe it is this site's fault that SI have decided to proceed in that way. Take it up with them, not us. If you want to act the troll about this of all things, knock yourself out 👍

 

As for us, we'll keep trying to deliver files to the community within the constraints we have. You are free to use them, or not. We're confident enough people will continue to do so to keep this site viable.

 

I see you're doubling down on your assertion that we're making the world worse. Get a grip of yourself, man, and take your petty grievances elsewhere.

Frankly, there's nothing to be gained any more by keeping this thread open. It has outlived its usefulness at this point. 3 months on, what needed to be said has been said, and picking at the scabs serves no purpose.
