I dislike the idea of paying for exclusivity. It's bad for publishers, and its bad for customers. There are reasons for not releasing for a platform, but it should never be "because their competitor paid us not to."

With that said, I don't mind the idea of what Nintendo is doing, which is basically the developer/publisher relationship the way it is supposed to work. Nintendo is publishing those games, not Platinum, so they get to call the shots. Fair enough.

Also, I wouldn't mind paying for "inclusivity" as well. For instance, if a publisher doesn't plan on releasing on a platform because it doesn't look like a profitable venture, and the platform holder wants to pave the way for a sequel, that sounds fine to me.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
