Honestly, I really don't understand what you're talking about. These are wholly owned studios. Their employees are Sony employees. Because these studios have a name infront of them makes no difference at all. I mean, SCE Santa Monica Studio? That's the name, Sony Computer Entertainment Santa Monica Studio. "Microsoft Studios is the video game production wing for Microsoft, responsible for the development and publishing of games for the Xbox, Xbox 360, Games for Windows and Windows Phone platforms. They were established in 2002 as Microsoft Game Studios to coincide with the release of the Xbox, before being re-branded in 2011. Microsoft Studios develops and publishes games in conjunction with first and third party development studios under their publishing label." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Studios I don't mean to turn this into a big deal, and this is the last I'm going to post about it, but you're wrong about this. The studio names are just for promotional and organizational purposes. Unless you're saying that the different studios that work on Microsoft computer software aren't really Microsoft, either? |
Not that this discussion has ANYTHING to do with Sony or Nintendo... Who is claiming that Sony/Microsoft "aren't developers" and only "publish" games. Uhmm you should probably read up on acquisitions before posting nonsense lol. Nintendo is the only company that "develops" games because they never BOUGHT a single studio like EVERY OTHER COMPANY did lol... It's pretty much the most common practice for coporations to BUYOUT competitors or other companies, then bring them under their umbrella.
There is literally NO destinction between a developer or ANY company being acquired, and nintendo developing "in house" because they never had the money to buy to throw around. You're creating something in your own mind lol. A reason to "buy nintendo games" because you don't think company acquisitions are a viable method of developing/publishing games. You don't know what you're talking about.
It makes no sense lol.
