For me, I have no problems with it either way. I think that the $$$ that Microsoft and Sony are giving publishers is allowing for more games to get made one way or another. So, is Moneyhatting really so bad? |
Which do people consider worst. If a company like Sony, MS or Nintendo buys up a good developer and make it exclusive to their console only working on probably one or 2 properties or just funding a game from a top developer.
My take as a gamer option 2 is better. If you are only going to own one console then option 1 is definitely best. If you are a gamer and just love to play games and willing to purchase multiple systems, then you want your options open. I believe MS or Sony, giving developers cash for time period exclusives is great. The devs get a cash influx to keep things going, the games are not locked so other gamers can experience them after the exclusive period and the developer is not hemmed in by these console makers to continue to produce the same game over and over. Seems to me everyone wins in the end.
