Errr... I am aware MS has that policy. Just like Sony has a policy forcing developers to add extra content in order to be able to port a game to their platform after it has been on other platforms. Or the PSP rules they had in place forcing developers to add like 30-40% of new content before getting a port on the platform. This is where the whole hypocrisy and shifting goal posts comes into play. You are griping about MS doing/having these things, but explain them away when it comes to Sony.
"paying for content is so terrible omg! oh well when sony does it its really just dlc and timed exclusives so its fine guys."
"m$ has these terrible restrictions on games where they force content parity! oh noes! oh yeah i know sony also imposes restrictions but its totally ok man!"
You do have a playbook, and it's adorable. |
Sony's policy is very fair. If you were a company and had a late port come to you because of an obstruction (competition) you would want extra content because your markets interest might have faded for that specific title.
This is exactly the same reason why a lot of people wait for Great Hits or Platinum Hits of certain games. Sony's policy is the equivalent of a Greatest hits. I don't see whats so threatening about that to you for getting a game late.

I see you're digging deep into the playbook for reasons to explain away why Sony's policy is different or "better", but they are both good policies for both businesses and their consumers. lol @ threatened.. as a consumer, neither of these policies hurt me. You're the one who seems upset about these policies, hence your posts about them.

As I said...what would you do if your competition stopped you from getting games. Would you cut them off like Microsoft or would you do what Sony did, which is ask for the DLC content that comes with the game help in persuading late buyers on your platform to pick the title up? Just a question. This is no trick.
Which would you want if you had to wait a year to pick up a game, the normal version of the game or the game of the year version?
