I've been saying this on YT.
Too many are doing the whole 'SDS suck, they deserve it' shtick, whilst being oblivious to the fact that this issue greatly impacts ALL of us.

It corrupts the game from top to bottom, inflating prices and making collections even harder for all of us.

This isn't just SDS protecting its profits. It's also protecting the in-game economy and the players who follow the rules. But recognizing that requires thinking one step beyond "SDS is protecting its profits," and apparently that's asking too much.

to then tell people they are basically not allowed to take an endorsement deal from said 3rd party contract also violates some of thier rights shows you are probably mid 20s and mad because you have NO real world life experience.

I'm 62 and I think you are full of it.

They are not stopping Streamers from streaming
They are not stopping them from taking those endorsements.
They just won't be playing MLB The Show while they stream and promote their endorsements.

There are plenty of things to be upset about and aspects of the game to protest against, but I don't see this as one of them.

Your Friend Kyle's promotion of this 3rd Party company got hundreds if not thousands of players banned. SDS are actually protecting large portions of their audience by not allowing them to be duped by streamers who are financially motivated to steer their audience down a path that is against the terms of service.

How are they not stopping them? If they can't promote something they aren't gonna get paid for it. How do you think endorsements work? And agian since all of you must just read 1 point i never said that they shouldn't have been banned for it because I don't care either way about that. But when they have blatantly lied about fixing their game, keep allowing ACTUAL CHEATING to continue, but then suddenly punish people because their profit margin was taking a hit. Yeah it's scummy and just shows how most people on here literally don't think and will just celebrate the smallest thing.

Cutting into their profit margins make it less and less likely that they will fix those things too. They have to do a logical cost to benefit analysis and if the issue caused people to purchase less stubs and the game itself then it would have an impact as well. I bet the amount they've lost due to 3rd party stub sales is significant.

Didn't I say that there are plenty of things to be upset about and protest against? Yes I did. I am not blind to the issues but those other issues have no bearing on this one.

Do I wish more things were fixed and resolved?Yes. But just because those have not been resolved does not mean that this should not have been done.

And to respond to your insult, yes I do think. Just because I may not agree with you does not mean I am not thinking.

What I think is that honest players appreciating the "smallest thing" is a way to show SDS that we will appreciate them even more if they keep resolving issues big or small. I think that is far more useful than ragging on them 100% of the time. At that point you just become background noise.

How could we possibly save him?

That was amazing and witty comment. I lmao when I read that.

@Rhyno1986_XBL said:

Lol wow all you people hating on streamers who were giving endorsement contract instead of calling out the hypocrisy of SDS is just generally showing of your age and misunderstanding of what is happening. Even though legally they can do this it is starting to tread on violation of people's personal civil rights now. Yes it's a private platform, but so is that streamers youtube, twitch, TikTok whatever and to tell them what they can and can't promote is getting very sketchy now.

Boy. You defending corruption is amusing. They can promote whatever they want. They don’t also get to stream the product. Education is just something that happened to other people huh? Tough break.

NOW, I remember why Ryno1986 is on my block list.

Please carry on dunking on him….
