| twintail said: The license has always been up for grab. The MLB license has never been an exclusive sports license like Fifa (unless this has changed but to my knowledge it hasnt). If another studio was serious about making MLB games, they would have already stepped up to make one. But they haven't, because no one else is serious enough to utilise the license like Sony are. So no, there isn't much incentive to try force Sony to do anything because a well praised exclusive ia better than no game at all. |
Exactly. This idea people are trying to push that the MLB was threatening to pry a license away from Sony that was never exclusive in the past and dangle it in front of a huge pack of publishers that were just begging to develop an MLB game doesn't make a lot of sense. It's possible that things have changed, certainly, but I see no reason to assume that. Speculation along that line would need some kind of collaboration because recent history doesn't support it.
