The J man cant understand why people consider microsoft buying exclusivity as stealing when it is more understandable than sony buying devs/studios back in the day.
Is buying devs/studios really morally more respectable than buying individual games or franchises?

i don't know anyone who said that MS stole anything aside from ps3 fanboys.
but hey sony didn't steal anything aside from moneyhatting Square Enix with Final Fantasy and their other key franchises, Heavenly Sword that was 360 exclusive game, GTA games, Ghostbusters 2 months before its release etc. so far sony was the one stealing games and still is.
|
they didn't have to stole final fantasy, nintendo was prick, and square enix wanted CD as the medium because of the lack of space.

not really. the whole story was:
1. SE made FF7 alpha/beta for n64 that was shown on many conventions.
2. sony comes on stage and offer SE moeny for FF7.
3. SE goes to nintendo and offer FF7 for certain(probably bigger) amount of cash.
4. Big N said no.
5. SE took sonys offer and ported existing FF7 game to psx and finished it as psx exclusive.
sony did that several times during psx/ps2 era.

well i never heard of that, i been for the ps3 15 years being updated with square enix.
i know FF7 was shown n64 but squaresoft did complain on the 32mb-64mb being too small especially when FMV tech wasi n full blow.
i am happy they made the jump. the end result was much better game.
