Honestly I wouldnt want monetary value from a lawsuit. I would just want SDS to finally held accountable for this. If Sony is being hit with class action after class action they might stop and think maybe its time to cut ties with SDS. The game is unplayable like 60% of the time and when you can actually login, the menu lags and you get the unhandled server error. Gameplay is wonky and stiff as well. Double XP is a farce. I really wish Sony would give other developers a chance.
SDS is not going to get hit with "class action after class action". by the time anything even gets off the ground they will have already compensated everyone and no one will care anymore
Until it happens over and over and over again per the schedule, they need to be hit with something

I understand one looney trying to drum up support for a class action lawsuit — you’re always going to get at least one nutbagel in every group — but all the people who want to follow him into battle should know better.
EDIT: for perspective … I live in Texas. You might remember a couple months ago when literally millions of people were without power and/or water for several days during record low (sub zero) temperatures. This was all due to grossly negligent politicians and power companies who refused to make laws or crucial equipment upgrades that would protect the grid. Something like 3 dozen people froze to death in their own homes because of their heartless, profit-first mentality. Then, due to some shady, borderline criminal fine print, some of the lucky people who didn’t lose power were shocked to find electric bills in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for just a few days worth of service. THAT deserves a class action lawsuit. In contrast, for the past 9 days, some multiplayer modes have been inaccessible on a video game.
See the difference?

This is funny. Some d-wad wants a class action suit against every game. Call a lawyer, champ.
Ok champ what would you do if a game literally had taken about $180 bucks of your money pls show us your recourse knowitall
How did SDS cost you $180???

As awful as that is to read, thank you for putting this little issue into some real perspective. We all need a reminder sometimes.

Does anyone realize that the largest share of class action suit payoffs go to the lawyers? I've had a settlement from an actual wrongdoing from a video game company that used my likeness without permission and I and got pennies. What do you think you'll get out of this?
Accountability. Precedent. Better future business practice.
I think people are overreacting with this class action lawsuit BS, but you need to change your mindset brother. It's not about you or me and "what do I get out of it", such a lawsuit doesn't evolve around you and your wallet. It evolves around the things mentioned above.
Don't be a martyr in the cause of standing up to SDS

You guys know how you hold SDS accountable? Stop buying the games and above all stop exchanging real currency for fake currency.

Funny...
I suggested this (tongue-in-cheek) a few years ago. But it wouldn't change anything.
This is what happens when one company has a monopoly. SDS has exclusive rights to MLB likenesses, so there is literally no competition a realistic baseball video game.
Add to that the consumer's "it's good enough" attitude, and this is what you get.
The only way to stick it to SDS is to not buy the game. That's not going to happen.
What do you expect from an American made product?
We haven't made anything of quality since the Model T. -

What in the world are you talking about? My message was that if such a lawsuit would take place, it should never be because of selfish motives and to get money out of it. It should be about holding companies accountable to ensure better business practice in the future.
Besides that, I think this whole class action lawsuit talk is ridiculous. Some kids have seen the whole Cyperbunk situation and now scream "ClAsS aCtIoN LaWsUiT!" whenever something isn't working as it's supposed to. The difference is that Cyberpunk was a half finished game where the studio lied to investors and shareholders to push the game for release despite not being finished. That is a whole different ballgame (pun intended) compared to the server issues we see with MLBTS.
Edit: and just to add some context for you; I was banned from this forum for the entire year of 2018 and early into 2019 for taking a dump on MLBTS 18 daily. So yeah I'm not the martyr you think I am.

anyone in this thread.....its apparent that he was just pissed about the losses hes compiling. no real lawsuit. lets be supportive. the game is having issues. they arent answering tickets with solutions. my ticket response was along the lines of are you sure you did "this".....of course we did SDS. hence the ticket. i offer this advice, it sucks, but soon when its all fixed HOPEFULLY lol, you wont have any more issues.
WHATEVER isnt there anymore, packs, cards, etc. ALWAYS SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT UNTIL THEY GET IT RIGHT. even you pack openings, the entire team collection prior to locking it in, and any orders you place, sell or otherwise. ITS JUST SAFER. hope this helps -

We haven't made anything of quality since the Model T.There’s only a monopoly because no other company has gotten the licensing. It’s not like the EA deal with the NFL, any company can get a license.
In fact, I’d argue that it’s really EA’s fault there is no other baseball game. Their exclusive NFL deal caused 2k to get a deal where no other 3rd party developer (EA) could get a license from MLB. -
The only way to send a message is to stop playing. Which we won’t because we are addicted to this game. So we’re better off hoping that this gets fixed soon while trying to get our fix in between crashes. Let’s be honest, deep down we love this game and just want it to work. I don’t want my money back. I just want this game to be as epic as it can be.

Doesn't RBI baseball have real players and teams? Yes I know they are not the same game but if they have the likenesses and teams and players, how is it an exclusive license?
