Its grip on the living, breathing world of football via its online platform has entrenched the status quo. Yet PES has sustained a reputation as something bordering on a cult hit, with gameplay that continues to score strongly with audiences. It cannot, though, translate its cultural currency into sales. Metro 's September 2017 review of last year's PES instalment observed: "There's always the feeling that
