Yes it's moneyhatting

If Microsoft paid to fund Titanfall and Dead Rising, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but they're paying to keep those titles Xbox exclusive.


@bolded - All that really needed to be said.

@2nd part - we don't know any of these things about either game. Neither Respawn or Crapcom have detailed what they did or did not get from MS.

1st part: Are you fucking serious?

2nd part: I don't think EA needed start-up money for Titanfall and we know there's as large of an audience for shooters on the PS as there is on Xbox. EA is basically limiting their sales by half by only releasing on one console and it's not unreasonable to imagine that money was involved. (Just to be clear: releasing one console apparently also includes the 360 and PC).

Dead Rising - maybe. I don't know if the last game was considered a sucess for them or not.

You do know that this is Respawn game not EA.  EA has publishing and distribution rights but thats it. What does that mean.  EA does not decide anything about what Respawn make, and how they go about their business.  Its not EA call if Respawn wants to go to one platform or multiple.  Respawn chart their own course and thats why you see Respawn making other partnerships because they can.
