We where in Pandemic last year, no? How do you want people to attending? The League itself had a lot of game cancelled and just the major ones happened without public.Baseball's attendance peaked in 2007 and last years World Series was the lowest rated one ever, but this is the game that will win the war baby.
So why Sony refuses to put it on PS Now?
Because I don't think that was ever Sony's plan with PS Now. As far as I know they never intended PS Now to have new titles on launch, or PS+. Aside from maybe some internal/first party titles like Destruction Allstars.So why Sony refuses to put it on PS Now?
Well any that did were probably just taking the piss and winding up the people having meltdowns. We already had this months ago when it was announced it was coming to Xbox, You only have to look at how the Xbox version is published by the MLB to see that. And it will of been the MLB who negotiated with it being on Gamepass, Sony would of had nothing to do with that.And plenty of Xbox fans that said it was Jim's fault. I've seen what happened in that thread.
Because they want to recover the costs first?So why Sony refuses to put it on PS Now?
It's not the only massive thing here...MLB pulled out their massive...
I knew it. Just like I said. Sony likely had no say in this deal from the very start, and it's a purely MLB and Microsoft arrangement. No way in hell Sony would agree to this game in Game Pass day one while their customers on PS5 pay $70. Can't wait to give this game a shot. Honestly, I was more into baseball games back in the Nintendo/genesis/snes/playstation 1 days. I use to enjoy them quite a bit, but then I kinda just stopped playing them.
This looks like a perfect time to return.
Everyone knows that Jim Ryan was cucked. He had no choice but to watch as his MLB wife became Phil's girlfriend.No Jim Ryan personally approved the deal, so the experts said on message boards last week
But then what would Studio San Diego do? MLB The Show has been their bread and butter for 15 years.
Who knows, it could be contract obligations, a good cut etc.Included with gamepass and $70 on playstation lol, what are sony thinking lol, should have told mlb to do one, another dumb move by jim ryan,
Most sane Playstation and Xbox fans said the same in that thread, including me. Its basic logic. Why would Sony not only agree to make the game for Xbox, but also agree to it being on Gamepass, when Playstation gamers are having to pay $70, if they werent being forced to do it?. I mean i'm sure Sony have loved the bad PR and meltdowns since this news broke.I’m a Sony fans and posted the exactly what the OP confirms.
It was inclusive obvious to me.
But there are a thread here with a lot of non-fans saying the opposite... so who knows?
I thought this was known.
Did people really think Sony said do it lol

I don't think they're getting money for the xbox version, yeah the developers are getting paid for the port but the game is published by mlb.I mean, they're obviously still getting money, regardless of whether they wanted this or not
I don't think they're getting money for the xbox version, yeah the developers are getting paid for the port but the game is published by mlb.
Which would heavily backfire, since then the license would fall into either EA or Microsoft's hands, and don't think for a second that if it falls into Microsoft hands, they will keep exactly the same deal: day-1 on Gamepass for "free", US$70 for the game on PS5.Yeap... they choose what they want.
The only choice Sony has is to stop to developer the game.
I don't think they're getting money for the xbox version, yeah the developers are getting paid for the port but the game is published by mlb.
Cause, unlike MS, they don't want to burn that amount of cash to promote their service with a day one release.So why Sony refuses to put it on PS Now?
Man when the console wars are about a baseball videogame? LOL
I mean... just let the MLB choose whatever developer they want.Which would heavily backfire, since then the license would fall into either EA or Microsoft's hands, and don't think for a second that if it falls into Microsoft hands, they will keep exactly the same deal: day-1 on Gamepass for "free", US$70 for the game on PS5.
It was a PR lose-lose scenario for Sony from the very beginning. XD

Put the Sony team to make something else.
Another racing game?The question is what would they be suited for? Sony has done a fantastic job with the MLB license, but that is a specific type of game.
It will of been within contracts that if they wanted to bring it to other platforms nothing Sony could do, Sony signed the deal and had it well for a good few yearsIMO it was always a one side decision like it was a one side decision to bring the game to Xbox.
MLB forced the hand... or you do the port or you won't have the licence anymore.
After that MLB themselves discussed the deal with Microsoft.
MLB has the rights over the name... they do what they want.
BTW It won't be surprise to me if MLB already had the deal with MS before go talk with Sony that the game should be Multiplatform now.
They are sillyBut you guys told me that Sony is swimming in money now because of this deal
MotorStorm!Another racing game?
ModNation Racer was pretty fun.
You do realize games cost money to make right?So why Sony refuses to put it on PS Now?
I did assumed this,I mean, isn't that what we all assumed?
They can fit even not being their creation... they have good experience in arcade racers.MotorStorm!
They getting no money for it on ps+ where with PSnow. They getting money for it through the subs. Makes no sense at this point to put it on ps+Honestly I think PS+ is probably better. Just because they have more users there. PSNow can be used once the game gets old.
For the publisher, not always the developer.Microsoft and devs : gamepass increases revenue for games
fanboys: Sony is going to lose money
I'd love to see what a new Motorstorm would look like on PS5. Same with a new WipeOut too.They can fit even not being their creation... they have good experience in arcade racers.

Yeah exactly that, with all the sales thread on how Sony games sell well why would Sony give it away for free. Just a few fans bitter that it’s hitting game pass. Sony shouldn’t change their plans for thisYeah. PSNow would barely move the needle at all, yet net them some good PR. I assume anyone getting a sports game will have a PS+ subscription, so putting it on there is basically forfeiting all sales.
Sony was just mere Spectator. MLB took all GP cash and screwed SonySo Sony got cucked by MLB?
