Think the cancellation is the big part of it, because FM has always had a bit of a cult like fanbase that will defend SI to extreme levels, a lot of people feel they’ve waited a year longer for a game that still isn’t ready and they feel mugged off, which I think is fairly understandable.
Think my main worry would be what happens long term, I can’t see this engine moving them forward from the 20-30 million sales they get usually. Could see microtransactions long term tbh
