simulation game's been ed a million times so far, dwarfing players from other platforms.

Series director Miles Jacobson Football Manager 2020's regular price is $60, so free is quite the heavy discount that, obviously, many decided to take advantage of.

Jacobson then updated that it had become one million, which is several times as many that tried it on a free fortnight on Steam.
