For every day AAA games, absolutely. Those have the budget and general popularity with the casual gamer to keep them alive and well. Not to mention the other means of monetization. A game like FHM though does not have that luxury though. It's a very niche game on a what I'd imagine is a smallish budget. Not to mention the majority of hockey games outside of EA NHL games don't survive due to the lack of their overall popularity. So, while I understand the critique when it comes to annual sports games and how the improvements are generally small year over year, this franchise and even Eastside Hockey Manager I will continue to support every chance I get.
