He's assuming that everyone on this site can take the formula "1+x=2" and find x. Stupid of him, I know.
| fleischr said: I think biases that determine if a game goes on this platform or another can really only proliferate at the indie, self-publishing level. EA, Ubisoft, Activision, WB and the like are corporations. Any platform they can sell well on, they'll develop for. Even if the development is like pulling teeth. Within the companies, you probably have biased developers and development leads. But I think most are self-objective enough to port their games to a platform not of their preference if the business case is there (or their boss tells them too). |
Except that we have ample contrary data. EA in particular offers a clear example from the NES days. Don't forget, a corporation is a legal fiction: the corporation makes zero decisions, and does not in fact even exist.

Would you say this change happened last generation?
