Like I've stated before. If a company wants to spend money on the consumer to bring titles, then let them. We spend enough money on video games, why NOT allow this? It's fanboys who are the angry ones. Want the games right away? Get the right console.

So companies being a pain in the ass to the people that own the "wrong" console is not bad?

To put it bluntly, no.  What does Microsoft owe to Joe PS3 owner if Joe chooses not to support MS and the 360?

Answer: nothing whatsoever.

Your right, they don't owe anything to ps3 owners. But that's not the problem, it's what they take away... MS actively fucks over ps3 owners. Why would I choose to support them if I'm so disgusted by their unethical business practices?

 

I would be happy if they created a selection of 1st party offerings. But what do they do instead? They moneyhat not to have a game come out on the ps3 specifically. And thats bad in my book. 

So tell me, if Sony were the ones doing the buying, would you be complaining about games not coming to the 360? Admit it...if Sony were doing it, you would be thrilled as would everyone else complaining about it.

You are wrong. Not everyone is a fanboy and the sooner you learn that, the better off you'll be in these forums. I'm a gamer and being so, I would NEVER want a gamer to be kept from a game because of fanbot bullshit. If Sony moneyhatted, I would be so fucking disappointed in them.  It would disgust me the same way that MS does. End of story.

 

Thankfully they don't and instead make their own games which I might add are fantastic. 

 

The bottom line is that I've been kept from games that I've wanted to play *BECAUSE* of MS. And I don't approve of those unethical practices *REGARDLESS* of which company is using them.

You need to get over yourself. So Microsoft doesn't make their own fantastic games? Right... If Microsoft wants to keep games off the PS3 to get more people to buy their product, more power to them. You wouldn't make it in the business world, because clearly, you don't understand that businesses compete with each other and do everything within their power to do so to beat their competitors. In the real world, businesses get this and don't follow your code of chivalry you think they should abide.

 

EDIT: So I take you will never buy any PS3 third party exclusive? (because we have no real proof that Microsoft is actually paying loads of money for this, it's just "wow the 360 has third party exlusives, Microsoft must've paid for them!") Right...
