I think calling someone a liar is something you really should have some proof to back it up. Saying someone or a company is being paid off when it is just speculation is rather juvenile, to put it politely.

Support can come in a number of different ways. They don't need to throw actual cash, some of the focus on the Microsoft Platforms (Windows, Xbox One and X360) is easy to explain as they are all on the DirectX platforms. Microsoft could easily offer them plenty of support. Plus, some of this support seems to be the result of the dedicated servers - some people want to reject their value. But like a honey badger - dedicated servers don't care.

As with Pugsley, I too though calling a company, "The Apple of ..." was an insult. That would be how I would most likely use the term.


Thank you. Finally someone with common sense. Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC all share that in common. As well as it seems Microsoft helped them in acquiring dedicated servers. Which people seem to skip over for some reason when reading this article. They also think the consoles hardware has more to do than servers in this particular case.  I will make it simple


Respawn needs dedicated servers -> Respawn goes to Sony/Microsoft about it -> Microsoft gives them the most viable and cost effective solution for dedicated servers -> Respawn chooses Microsoft 

 

How much more complicated can it get?
