This is my point, the only evidence you have given is that money changed hands. Thats not enough to suggest anything more about a deal than that. The developer stated their case, you choose to be believe something else but it doesn't make your rendition any more true. You have no clue how the deal was made who asked who or what. It could easily been Respawn looking for more funding for their game and they went to MS. In the interview it pretty much stated they went to Sony and MS. It doesn't matter who the publisher of the game is as Respawn charts their own course. Why would MS turn down an opportunity to get a exclusive game from a proven developer if the option is on the table. That sounds like very bad business and from the love Titanfall is getting, it looks like very smart business that MS made the deal.

Can you not understand how publishing works, or do you refuse to understand how publishing works?

Are you telling me there is just one standard model. Are you telling me each publisher deals with each developer the same way. Because we seem to be arguing in circle. You made a comment already about what Carmack stated that EA Partners is not a standard publishing agreement but a list of services and options. You seem to have just dismissed that comment. Are you telling me that Respawn cannot make other partnerships with other companies. Are you telling me that Respawn does not have enough control to state what platform they want their game published on.
