I had a lot of fun with the original Backyard Baseball when I was younger! I’m afraid I’ve aged out of the franchise now, but hopefully it interests a new generation! I just hope they don’t go the mobile/microtransactions route. Even though it’s apparently the most profitable model, it doesn’t usually make good games.

Oh yes, I fully expect it. It sadly happens way too often.

That’s cool! I hope it ends up good. My dad was friends with some of the original humongous entertainment crew and all of their games were a huge part of my childhood, especially pajama sam!

@chloyster @alyaza I had no idea the series was developed by Humongous! That studio made so many good games that I'm nostalgic for.
