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.
