Maybe not suitable to comment on the HB/TGCT relationship as that is the business of TGCT admin, so I’ll refrain.
And this is no start-up - they have been doing contract work on sport games for a long time, including golf games. That’s what bred TGC - they had a TW team but suddenly no TW contract...
And the HB forum is not good marketing towards potential partners now either despite the “scrubbing” - the tone on there is generally negative towards HB. It that was a real concern to them they would have just shut the board...
They're not concerned because all that negativity is contained to their own forum. But if it starts leaking out into spaces 2K and the PGA Tour inhabits - then they'll have a problem. That's why I've done some direct complaining to 2K and the PGA Tour. I've gotten no traction (of course) but if gaming or sports media picked up on the general hatred, well...
Looks like 2K is going to be a little busy. #fix2k20 is trending on twitter.
I don't think #fixTGC19 or #fixHB is going to catch on any time soon, sadly.

Actually I was thinking more or less about this, in these weeks. I mean..about what will be the real change in the command's chain about TGCT, in the new game that will be actually the first, with 2k and PGA REALLY and actively involved. And I'm not so sure we'll see dramatic changes in how things are managed. Or, at least, not a revolution. After all..HB developed a good experience about this kind of game. Would be senseless to twist everything. Probably 2K will give simply some (strong) input about some kind of targets to reach and some change considered useful to improve the game and increase customers (graphic of avatar, difficulty levels in the game, a offline mode a bit more exciting, some kind of growing of the avatar, to implement real clubs maybe..stuff like this) but I suppose the huge part of the developing will be always in the HB's hands. Then 2k should put their experience on a better level of business..and (hopefully) to use in a smarter and proper way the PGA license, to publicize better the game..stuff like this, I mean. And maybe another change it could be to close the hb forum and open a new one administered by 2k? This could explain also the "policy change" we can see in these days.. I don't know, but I'm curious now, after this month of delirium...
