Each year we give you an update on the status of copy protection and activation of Football Manager and the decisions taken as we know it’s a hot topic for many of you, although for many others it’s not really an issue at all.
每一年我们都会针对反盗版和游戏激活的解决方案给你们一个消息，而这个决定总能成为部分人热议的话题，当然对于其他的很多人来说这根本就不是什么值得关注的事情。
As you may remember, last year we decided against any activation as we couldn't find a solution that we thought struck a balance on combatting piracy and not penalising the genuine consumer. We did make our position on anti-piracy pretty clear though, we see it as a big problem for our game and we said we'd continue to look for a solution that stopped, or made it very difficult to pirate the game and play it for free.
你们应该记得，去年我们决定取消一切激活的设定，因为我们没有研究出一个合适的既能对抗盗版又不会影响到正版玩家的方案。不过我们当时还是明确表示了我们反对盗版的立场，这对我们的作品是一个大问题，我们也说过我们会继续寻求能有效阻止盗版，或者说至少能让盗版游戏免费游戏变得非常困难的办法。
This year we have found what we believe is an acceptable solution. Any version of Football Manager 2012 bought on disc will have to be activated through the Steam network, so therefore purchasers will have to have an internet connection for initial activation. This is a one-time only activation which requires you to sign up for a Steam account (which is free) and to install the Steam client and once it has been done the game can be played offline by turning on Steam's Offline mode. With those two simple steps done there are no more hoops to jump through or steps to take.
今年我们找到了一个我们相信大家能够接受的方案，任何光碟版本的fm2012将必须通过steam网络激活，因此，购买者必须有internet连接来进行激活。当然，激活只需要一次，你得注册一个steam账号（免费的~)安装steam客户端，激活后你可以打开steam离线模式来离线玩游戏。只需要这简单的两个步骤完成后，你就可以毫无顾忌地享受游戏了
We appreciate that the vast majority of people reading this post on the forums are genuine consumers of the game, and that having to activate is not as simple as putting the game in the drive and playing. However we hope that, as a fan of the game, you feel that having to do a one-time activation is worth it to try to prevent others playing the game for free and stealing what you purchase with no punishment, and with no contribution toward the future of Football Manager and it's development. Make no mistake, if a quarter of the people that usually pirate the game switch to purchasing Football Manager 2012, the sales of the game worldwide would more than double. This would lead to increased development budgets and more benefits for all of you who do buy the game.
我们很欣慰，来这个论坛看到这个帖子的玩家绝大部分都是正版玩家，当然，需要去激活游戏并不像把盘放进光驱直接开始游戏这么简单省事。 但我们希望你们能明白，作为这个游戏的粉丝，你会觉得这只需要做一次的激活是值得的，这如同我们共同努力防止那部分人来免费玩这个游戏，这些人偷走你花钱买来的同样的东西却不会遭到任何惩罚还对游戏未来的发展没有任何贡献。毫无疑问，只要有1/4的习惯于盗版的人转化为正版用户，我们的全球销量将会翻倍都不止，这会给我们带来更多的开发预算，而所有购买这个游戏的玩家都会从中获益的
We've taken this decision because we believe that the steps the consumer has to take are not excessive, and that as a one-time only measure with no tracking or reporting it is not too intrusive. Having worked with Steam for a few years now we also believe that their system is ever improving and gives Football Manager players a good service of free auto-updating, achievements and other great benefits without cost or hassle.
我们做出这个决定是因为我们觉得这简单的步骤并不会给用户带来太多不便，这只需要进行一次 而且不会有任何追踪或报告行为，这应该不会侵犯到用户。 而和steam多年来的合作让我们相信他们的系统一直在进步，给fm玩家带来了很好的自动更新，成就和其他很多好处而且丝毫不会骚扰到玩家。
We hope you understand and support the decision. It's by no means taken lightly, although I hope for the vast majority of you it's nowhere near as big an issue as we treat it as being.
我们希望你们能理解并支持我们的决定，我们绝不是轻易做出这样的决定的。我希望大部分的玩家其实并不会像我们这样在意这个问题。
In summary:
总结
• You need to connect to the internet to activate Football Manager 2012 on PC and Mac before you start playing it
在玩2012前你需要连接internet来激活fm2012
• To activate you will need to sign up to, and install the Steam client
你需要安装steam客户端并注册
• Once you have activated Football Manager 2012 you can then play it in Steam's "offline mode" - meaning you do not have to be connected to the internet to play
激活完成后你可以在steam的离线模式中游戏，也就是说玩游戏的时候是不需要联网的
• Saved games are stored locally on your machine, but you can play Football Manager on any machine by signing into Steam and selecting it from your purchased games
游戏存档是在本机保存的，但你可以在任何一台可用设备上通过登陆你的steam账号选择你已购买的游戏来玩
• Staying connected to Steam will mean Football Manager 2012 is automatically updated with any patches or data updates released
保持steam的连接可以为你提供所有补丁和数据更新的自动升级
