Whether MSFT paid for it or not means nothing to me.  It is a business and sorry to tell you but Sony and Nintendo arent innocent when it comes to business strategies either. I will be playing it day one so it doesnt effect me. 


This kind of practise affects everyone actually. MS spent the money not to create a game but to prevent Sony from having it. If they hadn't, both XB1 and PS4 owners would have this game, and MS could spend the money on creating their own game. It doesn't bother you that you could have had 2 games instead of 1?

And this goes for every company. It is bad whoever does it.


Truth. This is the only way MS can stay ahead and they know it. Their late game policy shows how badly they will ignore devs if they don't get their way either.

Wouldn´t it be considered even "worse" in your book if the company instead BUYS a whole studio just to keep their games for themselves? Naughty Dog comes to mind :). That is a surefire way to keep the games from gamers that chose another system.

Or is it more important that us gamers get exclusive games on our preferred console, no matter how they are acquired? I cannot for the world see the difference between bying a studio and buying one of it´s franschises.
