MLB LOCKOUT
SIMULATOR

MLB Lockout Simulator 2027 is a free, fan-made, private playtest game published by Fans for Baseball. This is a short summary of the limited information we collect to run the game and manage private access. The full policy is linked at the bottom of this screen.

Private Access & Email

You enter the game through a shared private password or a 6-digit code sent to your email address. If you provide an email, we may use it to verify access, send game-related updates, send you your player records or results if you request them, manage the private playtest community, respond to support requests, and help keep access secure. Emails may be processed by third-party email-delivery providers to send those messages.

Consent Records

When you accept the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, we may record your email (if provided), the date and time, the Terms and Privacy versions, your IP address, your browser/device information, and your access method (password or email code) — to document consent and protect the project.

Gameplay & Community Data

We collect gameplay information such as your in-game choices, leaderboard and Hall of Commissioners entries, Community Choice results, Commissioner names, opening statements, AI-generated replies, scores, and progress. Some of this — names, leaderboard entries, shareable result cards — may appear publicly or semi-publicly inside the game, so keep that in mind when choosing names and writing in-game text.

AI-Generated Content

Some features use third-party AI tools to generate fictional gameplay text, such as opening statements or social-media-style replies, so your in-game inputs may be sent to AI service providers. Please don't submit sensitive personal information (financial details, government IDs, health information, passwords) into AI or free-text fields.

Security & Abuse Prevention

To protect the game and its players, we may collect your IP address, browser/device information, access attempts, referrer and campaign information, and rate-limit data, used to prevent spam, abuse, and unauthorized access.

What We Do Not Do

We do not:

• Sell your personal data
• Use third-party advertising trackers
• Run ads or paywalls — the project is free

Children

The game is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Players aged 13 to 17 should use the game only with a parent or guardian's permission.

Your Choices & Data Control

You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing [email protected]. Where applicable, you can also unsubscribe from update emails; we may still send limited access, security, or support emails needed to operate your access.

Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated over time as the game evolves.

This is a summary. The full Privacy Policy is at mlbstrike2027.com/privacy. Questions or data-deletion requests: [email protected].

One day, a human baseball fan asked an AI:

"Will there be baseball in 2027?"

The AI looked at everything on the Internet.

News. History. Predictions. Very long opinions.

Then it said: "Maybe."

Which is not a comforting answer.

So the human asked the AI another question:

"What would it take to save baseball?"

The AI didn't reply right away.

It thought. And thought.

Then it came back with… this.

It created MLB Lockout Simulator 2027.

A game where players can try things.
Make choices.
See what works.
See what upsets everyone.

(Everyone getting upset, as it turns out, is quite realistic.)

In the simulation game, you can test ideas.

Take your shot.
Watch everything fall apart.
Then try again.

Apparently, the AI ran the baseball simulation thousands of times.

Maybe more.

No one really knows.

What we do know is this:

mlbstrike2027.com showed up.

No instructions.
No roadmap.
No answers... yet.

Just one question:

Can you save baseball?

If you can…

that would be nice.
