You can turn it every way you will, Sony wouldn't say that if they would get more exclusive contracts. And point is, an exec should better think about what he says. Thinks about the always on stuff that this Orth-guy said. This is not the same league, but it is in the same way a statement without thinking it through.

You do realize that you are reacting to four sentences taken from a keynote address, right? But yes, I agree that Adam Boyes should really think twice before letting Gamasutra take his words out of context like that. What a stupid man who looks like Glenn Beck!

"Right now exclusives are just a way for to brag louder."

What context should this have, to be interpreted completely different. It stands, he means that Nobody gains from exclusivity, as long as it isn't on Sony-platforms. This unspoken second part is what people here in the thread poke fun at, because everybody very well knows what he meant. Yes, it was in the context of an indie-dev-conference. But you was directly before answering my post answering pokoko that Rapture probably will stay exclusive. So in every way you can look at it - this statement was spoken with an unspoken exception for Sony.

Nobody really criticizing that. That is normality. All people here are only poking fun with it, talking about Sony-1st-party, or Sony-exclusives from third-parties (including indies).
