Other manufacturers? I can't see anyone accusing Nintendo of moneyhatting. Nintendo's problem if anything is that they put too little pressure on devs.

So maybe he means Apple? Anyone heard rumours that Apple moneyhatted? Also, this is a good day for the Iphone if that was who he was refering to - you know you've entered the big league when others start talking shit about you

 

apple does kinda do that with flash ram they buy so much it bends prices.... also they bought up a few arm chip designers (what powers ipods/iphones and crusie missles) .... oh and what become osx was once Nextstep.... um and Itunes it was someone elses..... final cut too..... hmmm and that new distributed version of final cut was a more recent aquisition ....

 

dont get me wrong i love apple but the go out and buy then improve and release alot of times even the original mac os was part of a purchase deal for stock from xerox.
