This is real, IGN reported it as well now.

As for Take Two... oddly enough, they only have an exclusive deals when it comes to 3rd parties, 1st party developers are still allowed to make baseball games.. it's a weird loophole

It's not so much as a loophole. I'm pretty sure they are well aware of first parties still being able to make the MLB games. I think Take Two wanted to spite EA hard so they did it in this fashion. I don't agree with all the exclusivity stuff for sports games but oh well, I can't stop any of the BS.

Unless they make their own console. And that seems to be more realistic for them every day.

How come there was such a big deal made about EA and the NFL, but not TakeTwo and the MLB.....?

Because of the keyword.


EA


If anyone else does it, its perfectly fine. As noted here with the lack of complaining by the people who complained about EA.

Well I was complaining not because it was EA, but because their act was not good for the industry. As such, I believe TakeTwo buying out MLB is stupid as well.

I hate companies.

Because TakeTwo did it as a reaction to EA's move in an effort to stay alive in the business. Ea didn't have to do what they did, but they did it anyway because they could.
