You got it all wrong. PS fans shitting on Sony and Jim.Sony developed game comes to GP and people are still shitting on Sony/PS....
At this point Xbots don't even deserve it imo.
That makes sense now. Sony and Jim Ryan didn't really make this deal then. I don't play this game so it's a meh for me.Show on Xbox not publish by Sony.
Here. Scroll down
MLB corporation is the publisher.
So deal made between MS and MLB for game pass. Sony has no say in this deal. They don't own MLB, just developer of the game.
Yeah they don’t deserve Final Fantasy, Yakuza. Nier or Hellblade either, only the sophisticated Sony fans deserve those games.Sony developed game comes to GP and people are still shitting on Sony/PS....

This doesn't hold too well considering many of the highest-rated games in the industry are third-party. Hell, the #1 publisher of 2020 by review score aggregate is third-party (SEGA).Unfortunately, I also feel that MLB The Show will just turn into another derivative, stale sports franchise. This year's version looks barely upgraded. There's zero next gen features, and the animations haven't been meaningfully improved in ages.
There's probably less incentive for Sony to really make a standout, world class baseball game now that they are the only game in town and will sell on every platform.
Which is very unfortunate for the series.
Sony is of course part of the deal as the developer and had a say. I think Sony is making some good money out of this.Show on Xbox not publish by Sony.

I won't be dumping Sony, but I can say from browsing Twitter and Reddit for a while seem to be plenty of players who have been willing to cancel preorders on their playstations since it's basically "free" on GP.
Also just pointing out since GAF seems to forget they aren't the majority, but to sports gamers this is a potential huge deal as many only buy 3 or so sports games a year and this move could easily take somebody who buys a Sony system into the other park because it's basically free.
I don't think this has as much to do with it being MLB, it has to do with Playstation gamers being annoyed that they appear to be getting the short end of the stick from a game/franchise that is known for and made by a Sony studio.
no risk of it randomly disappearing though as long as you have a sub
GamePass titles are cycled
Not by random and they give notice before something leaves so you have time to buy it for 20% off if you want to own it. There is zero option to buy a PS+ game to own if you end your sub.
If it’s free for a whole year and the next game is free Again?Sorry but the hardcore MLB gamers will mostly buy it instead of renting it. It won’t stay forever on GP. This the same with Flightsim, the hardcore won’t use GP for this but will get it on steam so they own the game.
I’m going to bookmark this for the irony.Bingo. the only reason xbox is still a thing is because of their diehard fans, that endure anything in hope things will get better.
Legal right to stop making the game or stop the gamepass deal?. Again you making the assumption that the license allows Sony to break it so easily.Of course they have a legal right, Sony can just stop making The Show and re-org the studio into making other types of games or supporting other studios.
That’s not in anyone’s best interest though. Yes, there are unknowns, but it’s not rocket science to see that Sony is getting something out of this arrangement. It’s their studio.
If it’s free for a whole year and the next game is free Again?
What did they lose?
Again even if it’s only free for 6 months, if they are serious about the game it will be at 50%+ off before it leaves Gamepass. Going by history.
They don’t lose anything by getting it on Gamepass, and can enjoy a ton of other games while checking it out.
What does your 70.00 on PS5 get you?
Must be nice to be so simple.It gives me a game i can focus on, instead of wasting my time “checking” tons games. I play a few games on Pc/console so i can focus on them. Also not every retailer sells the games for 70 at launch. I’ve never payed that amount of money.
Must be nice to be so simple.
I know sports is a hard game to focus on. The constant rule changes and gameplay updates can be a lot for a person to handle.
Hopefully Xbox makes it easy for the simpletons to understand.
As long as they play goalie well enough they can dribble down the court and get a one timer for a touchdown. Right?
Your reply to me was specifically about MLB (which you say you don’t care about) coming to Gamepass (which you say you don’t care about)I didn’t mentioned sportgames, but games in general for that price. I don’t buy sportgames and i don’t care about games sub services.
Your reply to me was specifically about MLB (which you say you don’t care about) coming to Gamepass (which you say you don’t care about)
So why are you in a thread about a game you don’t care about coming to a service you don’t care about?
Did you get lost? Or do you actually care?
You bother to read the title of the thread you are in?Perhaps read my first response again. That's where I'm talking about MLB. My response after that is general.
You bother to read the title of the thread you are in?
Or are you trying to purposely derail it?
I’m not going to derail this any longer.whats your point? My second response was about that €70, was not directly related to MLB, but what i do with that money. Eveyone can discuss in this thread...heck the majority here doesn’t even care about MLB. Maybe you should go after everyone then.
who do you think you are? Coming to tell me what I should and should not do.
Flight Sim is a MS published game therefore will never leave GP.Sorry but the hardcore MLB gamers will mostly buy it instead of renting it. It won’t stay forever on GP. This the same with Flightsim, the hardcore won’t use GP for this but will get it on steam so they own the game.
As someone who buys and plays Pro Evo yearly and loves football above all else... no.Sorry but the hardcore MLB gamers will mostly buy it instead of renting it. It won’t stay forever on GP. This the same with Flightsim, the hardcore won’t use GP for this but will get it on steam so they own the game.
Please explain it to me as I'm not seeing the advantage of a subscription service, but how is it good for gaming with Game Pass making games like this available day 1? Obviously you still have to pay for the subscription, and I realize it is cheaper than owning the game for a few months at least, but you are still only borrowing the game and not really owning it. Don't renew your subscription and you can't play. What am I missing? Am I just not moving with the times? I know games can still be purchased owning game pass as well...
It is pretty weird. Sony game launching on Gamepass day 1, but not on PS+/PSNow... that does put into question just what the hell are Jim and his team thinking? Is the idea here that PlayStation customers won’t know about it?
Baffling
Yes but the hardcore flightsim community ignores GP mostly buy it on steamFlight Sim is a MS published game therefore will never leave GP.
But I don't think Sony would have any say in the decision whether to make the game available on GamePass or not.
Well I was thinking because Sony made it, MLB went about the deal with MS day one on gamepass without letting Sony know. Doesn't feel right. Why would Sony be ok with them making a game and it being available day one for cheaper on their competitor's console?In what way do you mean? The Xbox port has been known for a while, MLB publishing it might have been part of the deal. Maybe Sony was convinced there was no money to be made there and MLB said we'll pay for the port and handle the distribution.
@93xfan, it would probably have to be a licensed game of some sort. LOL
Of course Sony are getting paid by MLB (the publisher) to make the Xbox version.Of course they have a legal right, Sony can just stop making The Show and re-org the studio into making other types of games or supporting other studios.
That’s not in anyone’s best interest though. Yes, there are unknowns, but it’s not rocket science to see that Sony is getting something out of this arrangement. It’s their studio.
A cut from what? Was the contract signed between MLB and Sony a lump sum or a percentage of every game sold?Of course not. But what i'm saying before there is no bypassing Sony in money agreement. They will also get a cut

You're probably not far off. It's likely the fact that they received little to no preorders on xbox and they need to gain some money as they are developing it on xbox too now. The franchise isn't established at all there and MLB games aren't huge already. Some deal to get it on gamepass would be the outcome there. Seems weird from the consumer perspective but I'm sure it makes sense financially for the studio making it.Perhaps it's so sony can show sales numbers to mlb and say "look! Nobody on xbox wants to buy it, there's no point in making another one"
If you spend less time battling, you tend to lose less wars.
Just a thought.
Maybe this is something that MLB did and not Sony?
Prediction: There will be big news at PlayStations E3 showcase this year.
Sony has no choice but to respond.
Yeah they have to.
And Jim Ryan was once asked about their response to Gamepass and he said "we have some news to share in the coming months".
Crazy this got to to 16 pages. Can't wait for the OT which will reach about 2, from the 4/5 people on gaf that actually play it. Wonder if gamepass will tempt enough people to try it and enter that OT. Will be a good metric I guess.

But don't care baseball game.. i'm on EU
Yes people who don’t live in America and don’t care about baseball
He gets too much heat. Sony are still killing it in terms of great games being put out on PS5 - what are Xbox doing in that regard? I'm yet to see anything I would class as a colossal fuck up by Jim. I lose no sleep over a baseball game.Do you realize that You are under the assumption that bad decisions can't be made? Is Jym Ryan infallible?
As a playstation fan of the game, this isn't a good look. Makes one question why even buy it on a playstation platform when have other platforms with the game at a huge advantage from a consumer standpoint.
Thanks Jim
I’ve seen enough come and go. It’s not hard to see the pattern before its too late.You've learned that in a hard way i see
It is interesting that when I’m being serious nobody bookmarks my posts but when I am using sarcasm someone bookmarks my posts!I’m going to bookmark this for the irony.

Sort of. My guess is they will take it off gamepass either right before or after the playoffs. Which will force Xbox users such as myself to decide if I want to fork over a most likely lightly discounted price to continue playing diamond dynasty of franchise.
Essentially an industry perfect double dip imo.
