Lol! In what way have MS saved Crytek's ass???

To get the game running on E3.. and not making it look like Crytek is incompetent..

Your comment still makes no sense! How have MS saved Crytek's ass beyond what they have to do as the manufacturer of the X1?? Crytek are graphical whores and they have bought PC graphics cards to their knees so i don't think they would be in any way incompetent!

?? Crytek made a game designed for the 360 and couldn't get it running on the One in time for E3.. MS stepped in and helped them getting it running on the One for E3.. I would call that Ass saving cause it was one of the big games of E3.. Crytek would look like donkeys if their exclusive One game couldn't actually be running on the One.. it's not MS job to get every game running on the One, it's not like they give other developers their programmers.. it's the developers job to get the game running on the One..

I would call that collaboration, not MS saving Crytek's ass. Without Crytek's help, MS' X1 drivers and dev environment wouldn't be as mature as it currently is.

Considering MS is the publisher, everything they did is exactly what you expect from a publisher and platform holder.
