MLB The Show coming to other platforms?

I’m sorry OP but you are dead wrong. With so many more players exposed to this great franchise, with all the new sales and DD money rolling in, that’s nothing but GREAT for Sony, and SDS! Allows them more financial backing and support to make this great game even better.
Also, if they are really smart, they go with the current trend, and most definitely future trend of full cross play. The MLB the Show community will increase by a huge magnitude, and that’s great for us all no matter where you choose to play this great franchise.
It is great for SDS, but I'm pretty sure Sony as a whole would rather it be a console exclusive, it's hard to say it's "great" for Sony. They want you on their platform, having THE exclusive baseball game sells consoles. I know it did for me, and because of that I've bought plenty more PS games since I chose the PS because of MLB The Show.
Basically, great for SDS and consumers, probably not ideal for Sony.

You do know Horizon zero dawn is coming to PC? And other Sony first party titles are rumored to also?
Yes, this does benefit Sony in a VERY big way. They will sell WAY more copies of the game AND expose all those new customers to Diamond Dynasty, where they will make a TON.
This isnt 1985 anymore people. Software sales, and in game digital content and purchases are where revenue is made. These companies make almost no money off selling hardware. In the past they’ve even sold at a loss.
Also, just like 3rd party developers, Sony, MS, Nintendo all get royalties from said 3rd party multi platform developers for each sale on their respective hardware. Sony will make money off each copy sold on any other console or PC, then count that DD money too. You better believe it’s good for Sony.

Except it's still proven that exclusive games make platforms way more successful, or did you think everyone uses the EPIC store because of it's great functionality?

Now knowing that MLB the show is coming to different platforms in the future. We know that MLB The Show 2021 is coming to Xbox and Nintendo Switch what is you're take in all of this you think this is a big step forward for the franchise or is it a step back for the franchise. I have mixed emotions about
• This is not a win for us PlayStation owners that have been playing MLB The Show for years. Extending out means more servers issues crashes Etc.
• PC players can easily hack that's going to be a huge problem for us playstation user and console users
• I don't know if this is the positive thing or negative thing it just feels that a bigger community is not what we need will this mess up gameplay
• I think that They should have kept it as it was. Forget about other platforms and just keep doing what you were doing why change and make this move because of the new gen if Xbox was crying for a MLB game they had RBI Baseball
I don't know what holds for the future for MLB The Show franchise with this move I hope it don't backfire on them I'm a loyal customer to San Diego Studios and every year I wish not but the best for this franchise and to get better year in and year out
Mixed feelings??...all you listed were cons

Multi platform = one step closer to becoming Madden...

Well hopefully with all that extra platform money ain’t with DD money, we can really get a fleshed out online franchise.

So you don't want other players who don't own a Playstation not be able to play The Show and expand the player base? Pretty shelfish.

If it makes the game more popular hats a win in my book.

A triple negative? I’m guessing the “not be able to” isn’t supposed to be there? If so, I agree with the sentiment. Plus, Madden isn’t the way it is because of it being multi platform. That has more to do with their publisher (EA) than anything else.

Let’s hope that Sony never sells SDS to EA if EA comes sniffing around for a multi platform baseball game.

I hope it isn't cross platform with PC, that'd be a nightmare. PC gamers will 1000% render in 8 bit or something stupid like that so every pitch looks like slow pitch softball on any difficulty. It's too easy to jerry rig unfair advantages via hacks/mods in PC gaming that console users can't.
Wow yes you'll get those bad apples that want to cheat, that's life...some people would rather mod a game to cheat than actually using their skills, noobs will always be noobs. But The Show on PC would be awesome, I mean you can actually mod the stadiums I hope...put actual ads up around and play in ultra wide resolutions! How awesome would that be, you'd see so much of the stadium, 16:9 gaming I hope dies out soon and ultrawide becomes the norm because its way more immersive. It would be a bad choice if Sony made the PS5 to only support 16:9. And to the other dude that said PC gamers would use a mouse to swing? Dude really?, even back in the 2K days of PC baseball no one used a mouse to swing...we actually used controllers.
