The argument has always been about whether or not Epic has said anything in the context of a 3 game deal with MS or Gears 3 being published by Microsoft. The only thing we've heard is that Epic made a 2 game deal with Microsoft (according to patcher and N'gai Croal), but being that Microsoft (since it's not their I.P) and Epic (since they're protective of their I.P) has never confirmed or denied the deals to the public, it wouldn't make sense to start announcing exclusivity status on Gears3. Also, no franchise is truly "locked down" unless two things are certain. 1. The company that has a "lock down" owns the I.P (aka, Halo, Resistance) 2. The company that has a "lock down" is already confirmed as the publisher. neither of which is the case for Microsoft and gears3. but, I remember CliffyB saying that Microsoft pretty much has Gears of War ONE, locked down when he was asked about a PS3 port in an interview. But we all knew that already. |
Ok, for me personally if i would have found the interview where cliff said "Gears 3 is pretty much locked down" i would still have been happy to accept the bet as a loss but would also have felt much more satisfaction from been able to find the interview.
I took the bet with the confidence that i would find the quote and could have turned round to you and said somthing like "listen to the part of the interview between 1.27 and 1.40" for example
Anyway, congrats on your victory and congrats on forcing my hand to look for the interview.
(Even though i did say please dont ask me to find the interview/article initially lol)
