Wonder if this will affect BM2K8 ?

just wondering (even if I think I know the answer)

why?

Justout of interest thats all...

I mean, how would it?

In my experience, strikes are bad for baseball game sales.

You might think labor disputes would be good for sales of computer games like Baseball Mogul. Because baseball fans have to seek other outlets for their fanaticism (and they have lots of extra money to spend if they aren't buying tickets). But you'd be wrong. Folks lose interest in the sport in general.

That sounds about right. Strikes tend to hurt the entire sport in general.

This makes sense to me. Pro athletes are perceived as being overpaid in general, so people tend to have less sympathy for strikes there and turn away from the sport.
