Put me in timeout in twitch chat

@Onix_Savage22_PSN they aren’t going to. They never do.

Have any of you thought that maybe they haven't said anything because of legal ramifications?
Could be that theyre looking into banning people but have to make sure all the 'I's are dotted and all the 'T's are crossed.
They just cant come out 'willy nilly' and say so and so was banned.
Theres proper channels that have to be navigated.
You are correct. On the flipside, there are legal ramifications for not providing the product the consumer paid for. Maybe the TOS gets them out of it, but the TOS works both ways, and consumers have protections too.
Legal and PR departments can still advise on mass communications in the meantime as well.
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN I highly doubt it. They don’t need to check with legal to ban people who were clearly violating TOS.
No. But legal may need to guve them the ok to tell the community that people were banned.
-
I’m honestly surprised how many people thought they would respond any differently to the glitch. Ignore and sweep under the rug is how they do they things. Anyone who was expecting bans were just in denial about how much this company does not care lol. It’s been very obvious for years now.

It's been completely ignored.
Exploiters Benefit
Non-exploiters face higher market prices and lose the ability to run the WBC Mini Season for a meaningful reward.I'm disillusioned. SDS sending the message that following the rules is the most unrewarding path for their customers.
I 100% agree. I'm so angry. I've played fair, spent money, and poured myself into this game cause I truly love baseball and this game. My reward is to be told to sit down and shut up. Well, ok, message received, and the message won't be forgotten
Exactly this. I've never gotten too high or low about this game. I know it has its issues but I love baseball. I can't do franchise anymore since I have no team thanks to a selfish billionaire (#FJF) moving them.
But I love baseball and DD has been solid for me year in and year out. I even special ordered my own ballcap IRL for my team. The company's response to the glitch has me questioning whether to ever purchase the game again, however.
I'm incredibly disappointed. -
Yup. This is where I am as well. Leaning towards giving next year a miss to “send a message”. As small as it may be.

Unfortunately they can't because of the corner they put themselves in. They were told of people running scripts and running cheating programs and did nothing. They lied about slider shrinkage to entice more people to come back (legally speaking false statements and could have legal ramifications if people wanted to ban together), have know about Josh Hader being bugged for a whole year and King for a month. If they were to all the sudden ban people for exploiting a coding glitch they themselves did after trying do an update they would be in hot water. I'm not saying the people that did it are right but it's had to feel bad for a company that has literally ruined ALL good will they may have earned back pre-release when they have proven how scummy they have been this year.
-
Is using hader and king exploiting a glitch? Yes but have these people been banned? No. So if they ban the pack glitch base, then they have to also ban those who repeatedly using king and hader also. Now ask, who will be left to pay their game?
-
No communication still makes no sense to me. At least say that the WBC mini seasons reward is now 1 stub. There were legit people who had no idea about anything and just won the championship only to get snubbed. Might still be. Now there's basically no WBC tournament mode which SDS heavily advertised. This might actually make their legal position worse, but I'm no expert. I would also think continuing to sell stubs to the masses without communicating the glitchflation is the real legal blunder.
The lack of fixes, bans, AND communications all add up in the consumers' favor if it ever gets to the point of legal action. If it hasn't already. And we're not even 1/2 way through the '26 cycle yet. Yikes!

Ultimately, it comes down to a case of what is worse, the disease or the cure. Of course, this is also why I urge people to never invest themselves so tightly into any video game. Purchase the game if playing the actual game it represents seems fun. But, if your purchase is predicated on some extra promotional that encourages post sale purchases, then the situation seems to have lost its creed.
