You know, just in case you had any suspicions about their predatory policies.

Oh, but even then, it could be too late to raise awareness about this scheme, because the developer asks Steam to hide the older Football Manager games from searches and only show the current year's release with every new release. The second reason is the players who try the game for the first time and give it a thumbs up those are justified in their rating sometimes, but I hope that they change their rating once they realize that there are zero expansions, and next year's release shows up with the predatory price tag that hits them in the face and wakes them up from the addictive stupor. The main reason for the ratings being generally positive on Steam is the addictive nature of the game for some players, which makes those poor addicts keep buying the game for full price annually instead of demanding these crumbs of improvements as DLCs or expansions. Other cons for the game include bad optimization or lack of responsiveness, regular loading times that definitely could've been eliminated or at least shortened with smarter code, outdated graphics, horrendous animations, and an obvious lack of user-friendliness in the UI design, like too many clicks to achieve things that could've been achieved with half the clicks if the developing company stops being greedy and hires competitive UI, UX, and user-friendly design experts to help design the interface and the whole game. This, alone, is so low, obnoxious, unethical, lazy, and predatory that it deserves a hundred thousand downvotes. Do the annual upgrades or additions justify a AAA price tag of a new game? Not even remotely.

My biggest gripe with the series is that it is released every single year as a new game with a AAA price tag. The Football Manager series has lots of pros, like some depth and tons of replayablility, but its cons are obnoxious enough to merit a The Football Manager series has lots of pros, like some depth and tons of replayablility, but its cons are obnoxious enough to merit a downvote as far as I'm concerned.
