The Future
It was confirmed on January 30, 2007 that the development of the NHL Eastside Hockey Manager series has been put on hold indefinitely, with Sports Interactive Managing Director Miles Jacobson citing piracy as a major factor in the game's disappointing retail sales history, which eventually forced the game to be released as digital download only . Most in the EHM community felt that poor marketing caused the games disappointing sales figures, and that the piracy was used as an excuse (the fact that it is still nearly impossible to obtain a full-version pirated copy of the game seems to support this claim). At this point, the decision has been frowned upon by most. All the members of the EHM development team at Sports Interactive continue to work on other projects at the studio.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.”
—Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)
“Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
