Why people constantly ignoring that Sonys studio developed a game. LOL. Thay can't bypass Sony in this just like that.This is such a 4D chess move by Microsoft -- doing the GamePass deal with MLB, who is the publisher of the game, totally bypassing Sony. Bravo!
Sorry to break it to you... they are putting this game on a pass day 1. True though, they are still selling it to PS players at full price. If you can’t see why that’s not good for you I have a bridge you might like to buy? It has the Sony logo on it and everything...They will continue selling games full price and not on a pass day 1.
This is MLBs decision and in the end I believe what you said is right. Depending on how long Sony studios Contract is with the MLB, I can see Sony pulling out from production going forward.
Short term gain for Sony, long term establishing Game Pass as the defacto game service.They are OK. Sony ( San Diego in this case) surely received some money from this deal
Exactly, this thing will blow up to some extent but its mainly something that concerns people in the US. To most people outside the US, a baseball game is pretty meh.They already gave away The Show 19 on PS+. Not day one. Europeans was not happy when it happened as most ppl dont care about basebal here.
Mate I buy my games. I don't want them attached to a service I have to keep paying for to play.Sorry to break it to you... they are putting this game on a pass day 1.

And thats all that really matters. Ms don't give a fuck about a few millions it's all about pr. Sony got played hard, and the few millions they will get for it doesn't change that.Phil Spencer ain't fucking playing.
Holy fuck this is a massive flex move.
Yeah, its way too much money left on the table, it makes financial sense to nickel and dime your own customers while cashing in on MS money.Those PC ports of PS games like Days Gone and Horizon, Sony might as well cash in and release those on Gamepass too, easy money.

Doesn’t matter if this is MLB’s decision, Sony has to match and put it on +/Now since it’s their game. If they don’t then I will honestly reconsider the PS5 as my main platform and take my money elsewhere because the value proposition in the long run seems to be getting worse by the week.
I haven't heard of it going to +/ now so don't know what to tell ya.Doesn’t matter if this is MLB’s decision, Sony has to match and put it on +/Now since it’s their game.

Or in japan...Exactly, this thing will blow up to some extent but its mainly something that concerns people in the US. To most people outside the US, a baseball game is pretty meh.
Spot on. Sony has no say as to how the game releases on other platforms.They can since MLB is the soul owner of the license. And is the soul reason why this game is now multiplatform. They made the new terms with Sony that it was going to be published by MLB on other platforms. Sony has no say they are not the owner of MLB. They just own the studio that makes it. New deal seems to be MLB has publishing control for "other" platforms. So hence they made the deal with MS for gamepass. They get the money, and SOny gets what ever MLB gives them per their developer deal and publishing on Playstation platform.
But the question is, for how long? Third party games don't stay on GP. Sony can do 3 things:
- PS+
- PSnow day one
- Give it away with the "Stay at Home initiative"
Sony doesn’t publish the game on Xbox so it’s not entirely their decision. The MLB makes the calls, and they are the ones publishing on Xbox.Sony would never allow it
Yup. I bet this is for 6 months similar to DMC5 and Red dead 2. It depends on what the deal was for how long and under what stipulations in keeping it on there longer. I doubt though it's longer than 6 months.
Kill streak continues...Oh, hey! I didn't even have to wait a week.
Jim Ryan is on a fucking roll....running PlayStation right into the ground.
Come to team green. We forgive you.Just like Outriders....
Jim Ryan and the rest of the people running PS right now are fucking morons and that is putting it lightly.
They shit on their customers and longtime supporters.
I need to move to PC, I can't take this crap anymore.
They are not, however I am reacting towards, when we have such thread, few weeks back and people were saying that what I wrote...unironicallySony doesn’t publish the game on Xbox so it’s not entirely their decision. The MLB makes the calls, and they are the ones publishing on Xbox.
Is team green gamepass on PC?Come to team green. We forgive you.
Huh, i actually had to look it up and it is big in Japan! Well, maybe its just me being Euro-centric but Id still say it doesnt really have a global appeal.Or in japan...
How did you get this footage of me?
Is team green gamepass on PC?
Phil realizes that Xbox is going to be lacking exclusive titles for awhile so he is most likely doing deals to get more third party games on game pass day 1 to hold Xbox fans over until the bigger exclusives start coming out.
Smart move, I will be playing outriders this weekend only because its on game pass....
I know what do you mean becouse i'm from italy and there's nothing outside soccer soccer is the only sport played by kids when they go out with friends or with the family. .i have to meet yet a family that play baseball or american football with the kids like in the moviesHuh, i actually had to look it up and it is big in Japan! Well, maybe its just me being Euro-centric but Id still say it doesnt really have a global appeal.
I'm not playing outriders or MLB and I'm not going to buy Returnal now either..... what Jim Ryan and all the other clowns running PS must realize is, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.Phil realizes that Xbox is going to be lacking exclusive titles for awhile so he is most likely doing deals to get more third party games on game pass day 1 to hold Xbox fans over until the bigger exclusives start coming out.

Ah. Yeah, the amount of people who have absolutely nothing in the way of common and basic business sense surprise me but I guess I should be used to it by now.They are not, however I am reacting towards, when we have such thread, few weeks back and people were saying that what I wrote...unironically
At least this is a chance for Sony to demo on GamePass a small taste of the quality of Sony first-party studios.
