@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I believe that would all depend on what kind of setups people have. I don't have a typical PC. The Rog Ally X is a handheld gaming PC. Think of the Nintendo Switch, but with a windows operating system. So I would be using a controller. As far as everyone else, it would be personal preference between keyboard/mouse and a controller. I think that is a pretty decent proposal there. I think if they could be strict about cross platform multiplayer, it could work. I wouldn't mind having to face just PC players if it meant that I also get to have the game. I think surely there has to be some middle ground that we all can come to in order to enjoy the same game.
It was a difficult decision for me to ditch consoles. I grew up a gamer and have had the original PlayStation, the PS2, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and finally the Xbox Series X. But greed is ultimately what has pushed me to PC. Requiring people to pay monthly fees to play games online is something I'm just not okay with anymore. And I bought the Rog Ally X so I can play it anywhere I want. I can take it to work and play it during lunch. I can travel with it and play it on the go. If I'm visiting family, I can take it with me and play without having to worry about transporting my whole setup. And PC has steam, which is an amazing storefront. They always have sales and everything is located in one place. So for me, it's the best of both worlds. It's more cost efficient and it's more convenient for my daily life.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL I'm not a troll dude. Yeah, I was a bit too aggressive in my responses. But at the end of the day, if I'm willing to pay $70 (more likely $100 because I know I'll get the deluxe edition) to be able to play the game, I have a right to play the game too. You're no better than I am. And I am no better than you are. I'm a PC gamer. I'm not a cheater. I'm sure there are plenty of people just like me out there that also want to play The Show. The only mod I can think of that I would want to add is to get my favorite player back, Joey Votto. And that wouldn't be a disadvantage to anyone since his cards have never really been any better than the cards you see on most people's God squads. And that would likely be an offline only mod anyway. I'm simply a baseball fan and someone who plays PC games honestly and fairly. I didn't spent a ridiculous amount on an extravagant setup. I bought a Rog Ally X. It's pretty amazing, but it's not something that would give me a competitive edge over console gamers. I understand your arguments, as well as the other console gamers' arguments on why you guys don't want the game to come to PC. I just disagree.

Who knows? Maybe they'll surprise all of us. I'm hopeful. Either way, I hope you enjoy playing the game. Until it's released on PC, I guess I'll continue watching YourFriendKyle on YouTube and laughing my [censored] off.

And yes. I did start off the discussion a bit fiery. My apologies. I just believe in freedom. Baseball is the most American sport there is. And I don't think gatekeeping who can play the game is in the spirit of baseball and this country.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN I only brought up my personal life because you insulted my intelligence. I'm not an annoying lawyer who goes around bragging about himself. I can't stand arrogant people. But when you insult my intelligence simply because I have a different opinion and heaven forbid, want to play a baseball game in my free time, I defend myself. Nothing personal on my end. But I will not allow someone to put me down when I've worked my [censored] off to get where I am today. I mean, really, what's so wrong with people like me wanting to play a game? At the end of the day, things are going to change whether we like it or not. It's part of life man.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN Hahaha. Differences of opinion. It's all good. I get where you're coming from. I just disagree and would like to be able to play one of my favorite games too.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN No, I don't need a Nobel Prize for playing on PC. You're the one acting like you're better than everyone else because you play on console. You're the one gatekeeping a game and trying to act like PC players aren't worthy of playing a baseball game. And my lexicon is none of your concern. It's interesting that you think insulting my intelligence is a nice way to bolster your argument. I spent several sleepless nights in law school to make a life for myself. It's funny you complain about me writing an essay. I guess you're just mad that someone isn't afraid of challenging your opinions. Two things that lawyers are good at: writing and arguing lol. So yeah, after I get off work, I would enjoy playing some baseball on my Rog Ally X. I'm sorry that offends you so much. Sue me, I guess?

@TheBigPapa55_PSN Well, I'm glad you know everything and apparently know just how many people cheat in MLB The Show. People like you need to face the reality. Consoles are dying out. I just switched from Xbox to PC and I don't see myself looking back. You want to blame someone for the cheating and the porting of games to PC? Take a look at Xbox and PlayStation and the decisions they're making to alienate their player base. They're practically shoving people over to PC because of terrible business decisions and greed.
I don't know about you, but I don't have time to sit at home all day and play video games. And I'm [censored] sure not going to pay ridiculous monthly fees just to play games online.
Y'all conveniently forget that anti-cheating software exists. That's why games like COD and Battlefield have successful PC ports. MLB can easily implement said software.
And even if they don't, who really cares? Unless you get paid to sit and play MLB The Show for a living, it really doesn't have an impact on your life. Y'all want something to whine and cry about. You crave attention and want to feel special because MLB The Show is one of the last remaining console exclusive games. But the world isn't all about you.
Go outside and touch grass every once in a while. You'll quickly realize that there are far more important issues going on in the world than people cheating on an online game.
And maybe if MLB The Show were an online only game, I would take you people more seriously. But a lot of people like myself like to play The Show for the single player modes.
I don't know what to tell ya. The console wars are over and all of you clinging to your console exclusives are going to have to suck it up and get with the times. If a new Xbox even comes out, it's going to be a PC hybrid. And if you don't think PlayStation will follow, you're incredibly naive. Look at the decisions PlayStation is making now. They're following Xbox's lead. They are porting their exclusives to all platforms. How long do you think that's going to last before people realize they don't really need a PlayStation either?

@Talkingben9558_XBL Boo hoo. People have been cheating in video games ever since the beginning of video games. Alienating a whole section of players because of the minority cheaters is not the answer. Look how many online games are on PC. Are we going to whine and cry about every online game on PC?
People drive their vehicles recklessly and cause accidents. Does that mean we should restrict access to vehicles to only those people who we deem worthy of driving? Who are you to make that determination? What gives you the right to take something away from a whole class of people? This is such a basic concept that you people can't seem to understand. Crying about people cheating in a video game is pointless.

Yikes. A whole lot of fear mongering and gatekeeping going on in this thread. I hope they do bring the game to PC. Just about every other sports game is on PC. NBA 2K, Madden, etc. None of those are dead yet and they are on PC. Let people enjoy things and kick rocks.
