I'm told that MLB uses a different DRM service than it did a few years ago -- and when they switched companies, all the old licensing keys were lost. Not being a tech guy, I would have assumed that the keys belonged to MLB and its indiviudal games.

I believe that MLB's claim that the license will go on your hard drive upon first viewing and then you are all set is a LIE. Even when the page was up a few years ago, I always had to log in to get a license even when I was playing a game for the 3rd, 4th and 5th time.

And MLB supposedly gives you the opportunity to get a license on 3 separate compauters. Considering how often people upgrade their computers, it is only a matter of time before the files are kaput.

thanks a lot for posting this.

i imagine that fans who bought and downloaded games do not watch them very often and will likely get a rude surprise when they do decide to play their files/discs.

while i pursue my refund -- though i would prefer that mlb restore the page and i can see the games i want to see -- i hope that word gets out to other fans and then they can raise a fuss also.

(p.s. the book was about the 1918 red sox, not only babe!)
