You are misinformed. The way that Titanfall is using the cloud is basically just as they would use dedicated servers. They're confirmed that themselves.

EA doesn't need to. They can just use Microsfots Azure servers for all platforms. Like I said before, these servers are available to use on any platform.

If they were using the cloud exactly as a dedicated server then they would just use EA's dedicated servers. In this video alone right here in this thread it's confirmed you're wrong, per usual. Maybe watch it?

You keep missing the point regarding other platforms. Could MS lease out Azure to EA so that they could make the game on PS4 and other competing platforms? Maybe. Would they give EA the same deal for PS4 use that they gave them for Xbox use? Hell no. Would EA still go forward with it at a higher price? Probably not, it's EA. And according to you they can do all of this on their own dedicated servers.

You can buy these Azure servers right now for any platform you want. We don't know if Microsoft gave EA a discount due to exclusivity, its unlikely I say since its coming to PC. What we do know is that the game is exclusive to MS platforms so that implies moneyhatting. Any other speculations is just that.....speculation.

They're using Azure severs because its cheaper. They offer a "Pay as you go" plan which means they don't have to worry about how many servers to have at launch or how many to cut in a few years once the game dies down. You pay for what you use, no more, no less. 

How does it feel to always be wrong? Maybe you should admit you have no idea what you're talking about.
