ethomaz said: I'm sure that "published by MS" means nothing after all. So from the third-party game I'm sure Titanfall is timed exclusive but the source says "multiple" that means more than one. So at least one more is timed exclusive: Dead Rising 3? The MineCraft already said the game is timed exclusive... so I bet that the one of them. |
It's all on a case by case basis. Some second-party games are Microsoft-funded, or Microsoft secures exclusive publishing rights, or owns the IP even without intention of owning the studio (The Mistwalker games come to mind, here). Some games are *merely* Microsoft published, like Mass Effect 1.
Can't know unless we talk to each developer separately.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
