lol...then by your logic Mass Effect one was first party (which is just coo coo). Do you know how many third party games have been published by Microsoft? Learn the terms buddy. Naughty Dog was a second party developer for Sony, which means they held third party status (notice I said status) but developed exclusively for Sony by choice (and contractually) working on Sony IP's. All of their games were created (while with Sony) with  Sony's platforms in mind.

Nevermind your derailing the topic......its all relative in the end. If the game is published under the MGS label some consider it a 1st party game made by a 3rd party developer. 

I didn't derail it, I was responding to two other people who were arguing over the matter. Publishing doesn't mean first party anyone who is smart should know that. It's only first party if the intellectual property is owned by the publisher and is made by its in house company. He's spreading disinformation dude and other people who don't know the difference just might start to believe it. I think most of the people on this site are smarter than that and have learn the difference between a first, second and third party in their economics classes and the role of publishers.
