Hi guys,

 

I might be too dumb, but I just subscribed and can't find the link to the download for the enhanced database update. It still says “pay with paypal” and “pay with credit card”. 

 

Other downloads are working fine.

 

Cheers for your help!

Same. Been a premium member for donkeys years. Got no idea how to download anything other than the basic update. Cannot find enhanced anywhere

I suspect this will apply equally to all of you: the Premium website membership and the Enhanced Data Update are two separate, paid products. Purchasing the former does not, unfortunately, provide access to the latter.

 

If you go to your profile's ‘Shop Orders’ page (https://sortitoutsi.net/shop), you should see two distinct products.

 

Just to clarify the distinction: Premium Membership grants access to direct downloads without the use of third-party file hosting sites. The cost is directly to offset the hosting and bandwidth that the site then provides.

 

The Enhanced Data Update grants access to that specific download.

 

Both cost £10 for a period of 12 months. In that period, you'll get access to every version of the Data Update released during that time, should you choose to purchase it.

That is the most absurd thing ever. I thought Premium would give me access to the Data Update as well. 😢

 

Honestly, I am disappointed in Sortitoutsi for doing this. Seems like a cash-grab attempt. It's not enough that it's charging for mods (which is against Section 2 of the FM 24 EULA), but it charges almost half the price of the full game if you want to get both Premium and Data Update.

 

I'm not gonna pay for it; I'll stick with the free update.

I’m replying because it feels the right thing to do - and because I understand your POV.

 

Just for context, I explained the situation because I‘m a moderator and felt it my duty to clarify the situation. But it’s not my place to justify the pricing model further - I volunteer my time to help moderate the forums. Hope you can appreciate my perspective and why I am sharing the info that I am, but why I cannot discuss the detail/intent further.

 

I am tagging the site owner, however, so he can have his attention drawn to the feedback - @Footygamer - think you should have a right-of-reply to this.

Thank you for replying. 

 

Yes, I know you are a moderator, hence why I referred to sortitoutsi and not to you personally. 🙂

I am not hoping anything will change, but I appreciate the openness to dialogue.

it has been explained many many times that they are 2 differing products, and there is a free option.

 

for context it’s 10 pence per week, would you baulk at paying 12 quid for a pizza, probably not.

 

as has been stated it’s a choice people have-support the site

This is a very ignorant comment.

NOT ALL PEOPLE LIVE IN UK TO PAY 12 QUID FOR A PIZZA OR AFFORD THESE AMOUNTS.

 

With 12 quid I buy 3 pizzas in my country, and I still have leftovers for the tip.

yeah but its not £5 is it, its £10 upfront, would be a different thing if you could pick monthly. and its 83p a month, easier for some to come up with that than a tenner.

Exactly.

 

And it's actually 20GBP, because I already paid for premium. Which is insane for mods, which should be free.
