| S.T.A.G.E. said: Moneyhatting is just capitalism at its best. Its exclusivity marketing, which tips the scales. It takes away 100% parity from one company and hands it to another for essentially the same version of the game. It also takes away the ability of one brands gamers to enjoy a potential multiplat just as well as it was once intended on all available consoles. |
If you are a developer/Publisher and M$ or Sony offers to pay you a certain amount of $$$ to go console exclusive to them, why do you take the deal? I think it is because you want to be able to make more games and that $$$ guarantees that your game is profitable or the risk is drastically reduced. So, in essence, it allows for more games to hit the market. I do agree that it does take the game away from some people who don't buy multiple systems, but EVERY game that is console exclusive does that. What real difference does it make when in the development process that happens? I usually get all of the consoles, so i am normally not as affected by it that way.
