Hopefully by then Sports Interactive will have gone bust and some other football management sim will rule the roost. This is way, way off, probably about 30 years down the road.

An interesting side note to this article, 1.4 looks likely to see the return of in game betting in FML (we used to have it in early beta testing) – This would utilise the token system rather than a clubs cash (so virtual, virtual money if you like).

Presumably this would give SI some good data on whether or not the gambling aspect is something that appeals to the customer base.
