i'm assuming the dots are a joke. otherwise you wouldn't have posted your previous comment....right? Because this deal says that the companies will get their money back in royalties where as the "moneyhatting accusation" is actually just buying exclusivity. This still means that the games will have to earn their royalties. |
No, it's not a joke. Nor Sony nor Microsoft offer direct money, rather support and licensing deals etc.
For example Microsoft offered Square tech support, a publishing deal and likely low license fees. No direct payment. R* received a 50 million rent free loan, no direct payment.
I'm not accusing Sony of moneyhatting, just saying that the accusations of Microsoft moneyhatting are over the top.
