December 04, 2025 Why Loki Doki 'broke up' with Sports Interactive after 10 years of Football Manager
Why Loki Doki 'broke up' with Sports Interactive after 10 years of Football Manager
Loki Doki very rarely does podcasts, so its an absolute pleasure to have had him make his debut on The FM Show Pod.
A 10 year veteran of the content creator game, Loki has a wealth of experience to talk about. We chat about his video where he speaks about 'breaking up with SI' and unconscious bias. There's also a load of chat about journeyman saves and how he makes them work for him.
