The game itself isnt coming to PC though is it?. I asked earlier but no one answered.Not coming to PC GamePass. Fucking eat shit MS.
Again, Sony is not the publisher of the Xbox version, MLB is.Based on how things are going with Sony now, I’m not totally surprised that something like this happened even IF they had no control over it. There’s just a different vibe going on over there now. Wonder what’s next? Hey, we can make a little more money with our first party titles on PC, so why not try that Gamepass thing? It’s just a glorified a rental service, it’s not in direct competition with our $70 games!!!! Right?
Yeah i rememebrer a lot of people at the time were saying Marvel was stupid with this deal, as it means Sony pretty much keeps the license for life, as long as Sony do something with it.I'm too lazy to google it, but I think Sony has some crazy perpetual licensing deal Marvel was stupid to sign. As long as Sony makes Spidey movies within a given time frame they keep the license forever.
I think the deal has no time limit.
Anyone who signs a deal with no time limit or mutual consent needed by both parties every year or two, has to be the dumbest person in the world to allow it. And in the case, the Marvel side.
How's it going to go to PC GP when there isn't even a PC edition of the game?Not coming to PC GamePass. Fucking eat shit MS.
How is Sony’s constant and endless screw ups Xbox fans fault though?Sony developed game comes to GP and people are still shitting on Sony/PS....
At this point Xbots don't even deserve it imo.

If i remember right though, this was at a time before the whole Marvel movie series, and there were rumours that Marvel were in financial dire straights. It would explain the situation i suppose.
All Marvel had to do is say the deal need mutual consent every 5 years or something.Yeah i rememebrer a lot of people at the time were saying Marvel was stupid with this deal, as it means Sony pretty much keeps the license for life, as long as Sony do something with it.

i wouldn`t call mr. Kenichiro a great, focused down to earth CEO who cares about the gaming Division at Sony when it comes to making a deal with your competitor while entirely Blindsiding the Executives at PS (like what you said, their most profitable division), it clearly resulted in the Power Struggle/Internal Conflict between Sony HQ in Japan & SIE that led to long-time talented veteran leaving the Company (Shawn Layden), The Rabbit-hole goes even deeper when you realize that the whole SIE Censorship controversy started not even a Month after the whole deal was made in 2019
Sony Confirms Existence of Strict Content Censorship Policy Regarding PlayStation 4 Releases
Following numerous incidences of censorship, Sony confirmed that they have adopted a strict content policy regarding media released on the PlayStation 4.boundingintocomics.com
the PS division is the most successful division last year is due to the incredible talents that built the whole division since the Early PS3 Disaster launch (Kaz Hirai,Tretton,House,Layden,Shuhei yoshida and even Jim Ryan), the whole thing about Sony group becoming a strong company financially is mostly due to Kaz Hirai restructuring from 2012-2019.
Daaamn!, was Jim Ryan doing the negotiating?Marvel was one step away from bankruptcy and the only comic book to movie license worth a cent at the time was Batman.
Fun fact, Sony passed on the deal to sign the whole shebang. They only wanted Spiderman.
I dont think it was a difficulty thing. From memory, it was a "Sign these deals with Fox and Sony else you lose everything" thing.It's not hard to structure a deal with strict time limits or "let it ride" terms where each side can chime in when they want to.
bc sony is doomed apparently.
Oops*How is Sony’s constant and endless screw ups Xbox fans fault though?
WOW.
I thought this was a late Ail Fools joke, but looks like it's true.
Sony really took the money on this one. There's no way the MLB forced Sony to offer it on GP. You'd think with zero full budge baseball games on Xbox for probably 10 years (the last ones were those shitty 2k games), MS would have a lot of eager Xbox gamers buying MLB The Show for full price and just ride that.
Looks like they are gunning it with optional GP downloads.
The game typically sells about 1-2 million copies on Sony. A very USA skewed title. I dont think too many gamers in Europe or Japan buy American baseball games.
But with Xbox sales and GP downloads (I'm going to download it too), there will be more Xbox users than on PS!

Fun fact, Sony passed on the deal to sign the whole shebang. They only wanted Spiderman. You think that was dumb? Sony sold the merchandising rights back to Disney a few years ago for like 350 million.... the character with the most value in merchandising... in all of Comic books. A lot of dumb people making dumb decisions at Sony.
you finally land the comment in the right threadAnother clear win for Xbox.
So MLB and MS can do whatever they want even though it's Sony's franchise. Hard to believe.The Xbox version is published by MLB.
MLB funded an Xbox port and then took the deal to put it on Gamepass.
It'd be interesting to know how many people in these 13 pages actually care and will play the game. If it wasn't for the drama, I'm not sure there'd be a signle thread about it that made it to second page.
Yeah and like i keep saying, you cant buy this kind of PR. People think Sony had any say in this are deluded, whether they got money for it or not.I really didn't expect this to have the impact that it has. Whoever made this move happen from MS side has earnt their wage today.
Seeing the responses on twitter etc, Sony trending from it. Absolute massive power play from MS here.
I couldn't care about the politics I'm just looking forward to trying the game out on the 20th.
Thats the way it should be.This gen, Microsofts moneyhats are going to be geared more towards day one gamepass releases, as opposed to 6mth/1yr exclusives I feel.
The Show has been the best sports game on console for more than a decade. This is a huge deal.
Make sense. Fight fire with fire.This gen, Microsofts moneyhats are going to be geared more towards day one gamepass releases, as opposed to 6mth/1yr exclusives I feel.
I've been browsing these forums for quite a few years. Other than the recent drama, I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody talk about the game(s).
Sony had nothing to do with it. Columbia had the Spider-Man movie rights long before Sony bought them in the late 80s. They inherited the Spider-Man movie rights with the Columbia Pictures purchase in 1989. They couldn't actually FILM a Spider-Man movie then, they only had partial rights. MGM had the other parts of the rights, but Sony got that in the mid-90s after trying to reboot James Bond. They had the rights to Casino Royale and wanted to remake Thunderball for the third time, but MGM sued them. Sony traded Casino Royale for $10M and the remainder of the Spider-Man rights so they could start making Spider-Man movies.
So MLB and MS can do whatever they want even though it's Sony's franchise. Hard to believe.
Sony took a pay out and allowed it.
Damn. Imagine that being a backstab. What would the legalities be here? Such a weird situation.
I am too lazy to update this gif to replace PC with Gamepass but you get the point.
LoU2 MP mode. Good fit.What other games should Sony put on Gamepass day one?
I’m thinking the Horizon game would be fun.
Thank you dude! I just spent the day driving around with the family and came back to nearly 100 notifications.... it was nice to see a kind comment.I actually really like reading your posts Bryank75 . You are unapologetically a huge PS fan, and you don’t try to hide the fact, but you’re happy to call out when Sony are getting played/fucking up. The worst type of people on here are the happy clappers who just spin everything non-stop, even Japan Studio getting massively pruned. I hope Sony start making moves that make you happy soon
You’re wrong. Marvel had sold the rights during the 80s multiple times to independent production studios. Those went bankrupt, so Marvel sold the license again, to Sony. But MGM bought those defunct studios and went into years long legal battle over the rights, with MGM claiming it was theirs after they purchased the previous holders. Supreme Court balked, MGM got cold feet. MGM settled with Marvel and Marvel was free to sell the license again, and they had a seat with Sony. For 25 million or so they could’ve gotten The Avengers, Black Panther etc but they only wanted Spider-Man and paid around 10 million for it.
Some people have discovered a passion for baseball after the announcement of the gamepass.I've been browsing these forums for quite a few years. Other than the recent drama, I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody talk about the game(s).
Lose sales on consoles globally? MLB didn't do shit outside of US
