Re: MLB The Show 21 Coming to Xbox Game Pass on April 20
I am not sure what the debate is about. Game Pass is a Great Deal. The more games you play using the service the better the value is.
But no matter how great of a deal it is you can't argue that it is not, essentially, a rental (same as PS Plus). You have access for as long as you pay and as long as the game stays on the service.Comment

It’s chess not checkers. It being on gamepass allows more people to have access to it. I can guarantee you next year a lot more people will buy it. These are corporations. They’re in it for money bro. The show makes a lot of money off diamond dynasty not just sales. I honestly think us gamers are making this a much bigger deal than these suits are. Microsoft paid a bag to have this on gamepass to entice more people to join Xbox and gamepass. Everyone is getting paid. It’s all a strategy to make more in the end.

Why would MLB pay Sony for MLB to be the publisher of the game on Xbox?
The publisher is the one that makes the money for you. There is no chance that Sony said yes go put the game on game pass to get more players.
This is a backdoor deal between MLB and Xbox which is why Sony is not the publisher for the xbox version.Comment

I was asking because I have no idea what agreement Sony and MLB reached and really didn't want to speculate and guess.

If Sony was good with the Show being on Game Pass day 1 why are they not the publisher. Before this was announced the xbox version was published by Sony but this was a deal between xbox and mlb which I am sure cost MS big money to give MLB. Now does MLB give Sony a cut from that bag? If am MLB I would say no because we are publishing the game and you get the cut from all games that are sold by xbox consoles.
Believe me the dudes who love baseball will most likely buy the game on xbox maybe after a month or so with a discount from game pass. Many who are not will play it and be done with it because the show is not for casuals
MS did this to enhance the optics of game pass. Sony has to be pissed that this happened because if MLB and MS put the game on game pass say 6 months later, Sony would not care at that point but this is a sony made game that is being put on game pass when they are charging their loyal customers money for the game
At the end of the day the game will sell most on ps5 easily over what xbox would have done without game pass
If am SSD and it happens again next year I will look to not be part of the license because it is just a bad look and Sony cannot afford to put the game on ps plus....day 1Comment

Cool, let’s keep guessing then. It’s been fun thus far.Comment

Xbox owners have been without a legit baseball game for so long, I think they are owed this, lol.
As much as people are endlessly praising game pass, I do fear that going down the road of including yearly sports games in these value subscription services will lead to a dialing back of development, and an even smaller year over year improvement/change in these titles. Feels like that could lead to an even bigger push towards leaning on microtransaction monetization and esports focus. Be careful what you wish for.Comment

Maybe, maybe not. MLB is super concerned with getting a younger fanbase right now. That's why they forced the game you be multiplat to begin with. They want to get as many younger fans to have baseball on their mind as possible. It wouldn't shock me if MLB was just as happy to get it in as many hands as possible as they would have been with the revenue.Comment

Whatever the deal is, I believe all the in game purchases (stubs) still go to SDS so in that case everybody wins."When it's all set and done, reality is the best innovation."Comment

Exactly what I plan on doing if the game plays well on the Xbox.
Is every gamepass game playable on a PC or android phone? If so, that really changes things for me as well. Taking the Show on the road with a phone or tablet would be really neat.
