Let’s say I create and own a company that produces steering wheels. If I contact MLB and get MLB brand on my steering wheels through a licensing deal, you think MLB now owns my company and product?

Find something that proves me wrong, and make an sig bet on it. *poof, he’s gone*

Thought it would be higher. GOTG behind It Takes Two and BOTW.

You basically admitted to me being right. The league owned the likeness, hence why Sony can release the exact same game branded as Baseball: The Show. thanks for playing. Sony is full third party, developing games for Xbox.

Bungie is trash so who really cares away. They overpaid like hell for them, too.

License to use the likeliness. MLB owns the “MLB” aspect. Sony owns “The Show” IP, including the source code. All MLB owns is the likeness. If MLB wanted to release a baseball game, they would have to make their own. They would not be able to use this game you retard. If Sony told MLB they refused to develop a Xbox version, Sony could make the exact same game with pretend players, teams, and stadiums. MLB would have to have another developer create an entirely new baseball game. Because they don’t own the Show IP. Do you think NFL owns Madden, too?

the developers own the IP, the league owns the likeliness. I beg you to find me that says anywhere different, in fact I’ll throw a 1 year sig bet on it.

Wrong. You clearly know nothing about how licensing works.

Think of it this way. NFL 2k5 was the last NFL licensed NFL game from Visual Concepts. They lost the license to EA. Was it the last football game they made? no. In fact, their next game was the same thing. Just with no nfl likeness. all pro football 2k8 was the same game.

They don’t own the “MLB IP”. There is no “MLB IP” for video games. There is MLB, who owns the licensed likeness of MLB copy right, including teams, players, and stadiums. Sony owns the source code of MLB the Show, the video game. All MLB does is allow them to use the likeliness. You fools don’t know shit if you think otherwise.

Guessing you think NFL owns Madden, too?

Wrong again. Sony owns the IP, the game, while MLB owns the likeness. As I’ve said over and over again.

Sony owns the game. MLB owns the likeness. Sony is FULL third party!

Exactly, they license the likeness from MLB. They still create the game, for Xbox. Full third party

Games pretty fun so far. Harder than I expected.

Sony did follow it, they just don’t release their games day 1.

LMAO! You took all that effort… to prove me right! It says it right there, LICENSED. Somy is officially “FULL” third party

MLB said they would take the license away from Sony if they didn’t release it on Xbox. That’s why it’s on Xbox. Sony could make the exact same game without any MLB affiliated likenesses if they wanted to. therefore, per your admission, Sony is full third party.

this is wrong. MLB the Show IP belongs to Sony. The MLB half of that ip is an license that sony holds from MLB. On every store page and every game's title screen you can see the MLB the Show copyright registered to Sony

Sony owns the IP for the game. MLB owns the MLB license, retard.

It is a Sony IP. It’s made by Sony. The license isn’t Sony license, you mean .

Square is third party because they don’t release games on their OWN console you retard. I guess Sony is “FULL” third party too since they make games for XBOX and PC.

You said Xbox has gone “full third party”. That does not mean “some” 🤣 fucking idiot are you claiming those devs you mentioned have some exclusive to their OWN platforms????

No, you claimed all first party Xbox games were going to be on Nintendo. Hence “third party”. You were wrong, stfu.

Your OP literally says “Xbox has gone full third party”
