This in regards to MS demanding timed exclusivity and/or release parity with PSN? Because I can tell you first hand that it benefits the XBox gamer. We don't have to wait while someone else gets to play or we enjoy a 1st class experience with getting it first. If there was any place that MS truly cared for their gamers, it was the indie scene with 360.


They are hypocrites. The way they play is pretty damn dirty and a very bad example to set for the industry in how to deal with your competition. They tell developers to give them parity for games and then strip parity away from others because they are afraid it will make their console seem equal. That is called fear.

Fear? lol that is business. And I stand by my claim. Getting timed exclusivity for indie games like Castle Crashers, Braid, Limbo, Minecraft, etc. It benefitted Xbox gamers with a 1st class treatment and MS reaped the revenue. PS3 got the scraps.

So, at what part in your last couple of posts are you invalidating the claim that MSs anticonsumer policies affected gamers? in this case, as fps_dominator put it:

"it forces developer to ready an xbox version and delay other versions of the game until it has. If the indie development team is small, the game is delayed on all platforms just for xbox.... like xbox is supposed to be the first place they have to go to. Sure, they dont HAVE to, but in that case xbox fans lose out. Either way someone loses out."

Are you an advocate of people missing out because of some dumb clause?
