Excellent article and glad Markus never gave up.

Congrats Markus and team, hopefully this results in another sales spike.

Been playing since Season Ticket Baseball 2003 (which was a re-labeled version of OOTP4 IIRC) and looking forward to playing for years to come. It's come a LONG way.

So I've privately been pretty upset about Markus selling the game to the Korean company. I always felt it would end up harming the product. Having read this and Markus's history, I'm not sure I could have made a different decision in that spot. I understand the thought process behind it now - financial security is incredibly important, especially if there was a time in one's life when they didn't have it.

So Markus - apologies for the negative thoughts, and I'm glad baseball has given you the ability to reach a point in your life where things are better than they had been.

The orginal game was called Single Ticket Baseball wasn't it?

I might be confusing this with Baseball mogul.

Great article. PS, you can read it for free in your browser's reader mode.

Now I need the story of Markus's tattoos. That's some serious ink
