I really despise this money hatting on both sides. It is a morally corrupt practice, and should be banned. There is no pros to this practice for the gamers. It is not competition, it's sabotage. Think of it like this; if Sony/MS were two restaurants. One of the restaurants pays a fork manufacturer to not sell any forks to the competition for at least a year. Now this won't stop the customers from being able to eat, nor will it make the food any worse, but it does diminish the experience. I don't mind eating with my hands if I have to, but I prefer using utensils. Or you can say one of them pays condiment manufacturers not to sell the other one steak sauce. You see what I'm saying. That is not competition.
Could you imagine if other industries practiced this technique? Imagine if Ford money hatted brakes!
Competition is putting your best out there against your rivals best. Not tripping up the other runners in the race. That's considered cheating.
