bbcThis smacks of desperation for Eidos as everyone with a desire to lose contact with the world over a football manager games plays Football manager from Sega.

Or they could be looking at a micro-payment model as touted for the iPhone.

An excel spreadsheet with adverts...fantastic. At least it doesn't include 22 "men" running around kissing each other.
It's an odd time for Eidos to get desperate, especially with Arkham Asylum on their books and landing this month. Or maybe they are desperate to flog a boring title to a bunch of teenagers obsessed with a football club from a town they've never been to, staffed by players mostly from outside the UK.

I had a football manager game for the BBC Micro. It showed a short game between the actual managing bits.

Really shows the average age of a gamer when they only survey those 19-90.... Not including anyone under 19 obviously makes the science all the more accurate  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

clickymight help. The assumption many people make is that a gamer is a young teanager/child yet consistantly almost every survey has shown the average age of people who play computer games is creeping up.

That link didn't have much on the age
I appreciate the age is probably increasing... however only surverying 19-90 year olds skews the data
