Isn’t it an exclusive by default? with no one else developing a baseball “sim” or even an arcady variant like those on live/psn I guess they have final say in it in this deal
I'm trying to remember if they had ootp on pc game pass. That's more a manager sim though, but it's all baseball so I couldn't give a fart.

All of a sudden this PlayStation exclusive doesn’t matter to PlayStation warriors...
This series never mattered to me to begin with, it's also a series that only sells a little over a million copies every year and makes some money from mtx but it's not a system seller other than a few people here and there.. MLB forced this to happen or Sony was going to lose the license, at least this way they get paid for making the xbox versions as well as making sure nobody else gets to make a baseball game that will compete with theirs. It sucks for them that MLB went this way but in the end they still benefit because there is no way they make a game for MLB to publish on xbox and not get paid for it. I'm sure xbox fans are glad to finally have a new game coming to GP, sadly it's still not a game made by MS but at least you guys who ONLY buy xbox get something new for a change.
 
Looks like there won’t be a free upgrade/smart-delivery for either generation

Is the version of The Show hitting GP just the last gen version or the Series X version?

So, does Game pass ultimate give me access to EA Play titles on PC? I can't seem to get my EA account and Xbox accounts to connect. I can download everything fine on Xbox, but on PC I can only get Game Pass games, not EA. I wasn't sure if this was a problem with the account or if that's separate on PC. Not a huge deal as I stick mostly to console anyway. I thought I had my EA and Xbox accounts linked properly.

Yes they should. I haven't tried downloading those EA Play titles yet to verify but once you connect the accounts, you should be good to go.

Will the internet get worse? Will social media be the downfall of mother earth?


It feels like lazy ass people with no ambition projecting what they would do if they were in that position. The thing is....They're not in that position because these armchair quarterbacks of game development wouldn't be self motivated enough to get to this level.

I haven't heard of a developer who is part of a small team or who's been in the business long who's lazy. The fact of the matter is these Game Pass deals get them exposure. That exposure can be great....or not great depending on how you come through. For developers who capitalize on the added exposure, it can propel them to bigger things with their next game.

Lol. Only 20 million subs across 2 platforms. Still plenty out there buying day 1 games.

Plus, how is game dev any different from any other job? If your work isn't up to par you gets fired.

I don’t think EA Play through Game Pass Ultimate has arrived on PC yet, but I saw somewhere that it is coming to PC soon.

LOL....GP just got Outriders bruv....I couldn't care less about this game but it's pretty funny to see the butthurt. Really sounds like you are damage controlling with your Gamepass take but whatevs.

I thought it was bullsh*t that a platform holder had exclusive rights to a sporting license from the jump (don't care about MLB but from a principal standpoint). At least EA with Madden was 3rd party and platforms weren't just left out of the sport entirely (but I generally don't agree with that either and was pissed NFL 2K series had to end). The fact that it's now GP on day one is just a bitter pill to swallow for the warriors out there. Even though I don't care, I'll D/L and fire it up a few times...prolly be a Gamepass quest around it for MS points ;)
